Learning @ Room 9

 



Woohoo! Celebrations

Around the world people celebrate events which are relevant to them. Celebrations are a time which brings happiness, joy and laughter to our lives. Today is no different. Although we sit in a Level 3 - Step 1 lockdown to battle Covid-19, there is still an opportunity for us to Celebrate. 

In Mexico, 31 October celebrates __________________, which acknowledges ___________________. However, in America, 31 October  they celebrate __________________, which acknowledges ______________. Tell us about both celebrations and its significance to people. 

In NZ last week, on the 4 November, we began to celebrate ____________, which is the short name for ____________. This celebration is normally celebrated with bright colours all over the world but more commonly in India. It is a celebration which brings lots of joy to many, but why do we celebrate it? What do you know? 

All over the world, on the 5 November, they celebrate ______________, but do we know where it started and why people celebrate. Tell us about it's history and think critically about why you think people celebrate. Should they? What are its effects on our society? How do you know?

We also celebrate on a daily basis, all over the world - a day where there is someone born every minute. What is this celebration called? Although some people do not celebrate this day, we talk about how differences and identity matter. Tell me about the significance of this day and what your thoughts are about them.
