23rd APRIL: BOOK DAY
What is World Book Day?
As we are working on the project about Australia, here are 4 famous Australian characters, three of them are writers and one is a very famous sportsman.
MEM FOX
Mem Fox is an Australian writer of children´s books.
She wrote Australia´s best ever selling picture book, titled “Possum Magic”.
Mem has sold over 5 million copies of Possum Magic in Australia. She was born
in 1946 and studied drama in London and children´s literature in Australia. She
has written over 40 children´s books and 5 books for adults.
“Possum Magic” is the story of two possums: Grandma
Poss and Hush. Hush has been made invisible by her Grandma to protect her from
the dangers of the Australian bush. Hush wants to become visible again, so Hush
and Grandma Poss must travel across Australia to find the magic food that will
make Hush visible once more.
PATRICK WHITE
Patrick White was born in 1912 and was an Australian writer who
published 12 novels, three short-story collections and eight plays. He died in
1990. White was the first Australian to have been awarded the Nobel Prize in
Literature.
White grew up in Sydney and then went to school in England before
returning to Australia to work on a farm. He studied at Cambridge University in
England before moving back to Sydney. In 1973 he received the Nobel Prize in
Literature as well as receiving the Australian of the Year award.
BANJO PATERSON
Banjo Patterson was an Australian bush poet,
journalist and author. He was born in 1864 and died in 1941. He wrote many
poems and ballads about Australian life which focused on the outback area and
way of life in the Australian bush.
His most famous poems were ”Waltzing Matilda”, “The
Man from Snowy River” and “Clancy of the Overflow”. Many Australians love
“Waltzing Matilda” so much that they think it should be the national anthem of
the country. Banjo Paterson´s face is on the Australian $10 bill.
“Waltzing Matilda”:
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You´ll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy
boiled
“You´ll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me”.
Sir Donald Bradman was an Australian cricketer and the
greatest sportsman in the world. He was born in 1908 and died in 2001. As a
boy, Bradman practiced cricket in his backyard before becoming an Australian
idol at the age of 22.
Bradman´s batting average is 99.94, which means he hit
99.94 balls out of 100 that were bowled to him in a game. This is the greatest
achievement by any sportsman in history. He played cricket for Australia for 20
years between 1928 – 1948.

Australia in February
Carnivals 2014-15
This year our topic for the carnival is "countries all over the world"
We got dressed in the typical costumes of the different countries. For instance, the infant students chose Egypt, China and Mexico.
The 1st grade Spain, 2nd grade Greece, 3rd grade India, 4th grade Romania, 5th grade Italy and the 6th grade students, following the tradition, were following the parade into tears because of the burning of the sardine. Everybody enjoyed it a lot and had lots of fun.
Here are some photographs.
I hope you enjoy them.
