Happy New Year!!!!!!!!

Summer, Winter, Autumn or Spring.......... Happy New Year!!!!

Welcome 2011, it's a NEW YEAR!!!!! Say goodbye to 2010, start a NEW YEAR!!!!!!!

I would like to dedicate this poem to my hilarious teacher Mrs Brooksie Looksie Chooksie, who taught me so much.

Happiness
All years luck
Prosperity
Promises never to be broken
Years of fine weather

Never ending joyfulness
Exceptionally good jobs
Wishes to come true

Yetis in the mountains
Everyday surprises
Attempts to succeed
Really cool things that you don't expect

See you in the year.

Christmas in Australia

Ho ho ho! (Please don't mistake me for Santa Claus!) Helooo? Anyone here want to learn how Australians spend their Christmas time? Come on, some volunteers! Is there someone after all? Then I'll begin.

Like Europeans, they eat, talk, and then open their presents, sing carols. They usually gather at the beach. They surf, and play beach ball. (Because Christmas in Australia comes in summer) But they have a special song, a Christmas song. Not about Jesus, nor angels, but about Santa Claus! (We'll talk about that later)

Someone know any Christmas jokes? Because I know one! It goes like this:

Who gives presents and has claws?

Santa Claws! (Claus)

What's red, black and white?

A very sooty Santa!

Why does Santa ride in a sleigh?

Because he can't afford an plane!

Why did the Australian say: OH MY!!!!!?????

Because a present fell on his head (a very heavy one too, for it was for him).

It's time, it's time to sing an special Australian song...

Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day is a very important day for Australians and New Zealanders (Kiwis) and all free people in the world.

Every year Australians observe 1 minute of silence at 11am on 11th November in memory to those who died or suffered in the first world war.

The war ended on 11 November 1918, hence the commemoration on that day. People go to memorials to place poppies beside the names of people who were killed at war.

Let us remember those, who gave their lives for the freedom of our countries.

Lest we forget.

The best country is...

...Australia! Of course, for me! For you it might be: Brazil, America, Africa, U.S, U.K, Asia, Europe...

Talking about Australia, lets start with the fauna.

Kangaroos - wild animals, although they can be tamed and fed from human hand and that they are cute, but in the wild they can be aggressive. Kangaroos can be grey, brown, red...

Dingo - a close cousin of the dog, but does not bark. If you want to have a dingo, remember to cross it with a dog first, because that is the only dingo you can have around the house. Also tamed easily.

Koala - munch, munch! Crunch, crunch! A koala eating eucalyptus leaves. Usually very fussy, only to eat special types of eucalyptus. These gentle, lazy animals sleep more than they move!

Australians are proud of their country. We like to sing a song: We share our dreams, and sing with one voice, I am, you are, we are Australian...
