Today I am talking about how many schools are next week acknowledging Book Week by giving children the chance to browse through and buy books and many are able to Dress Up as their favourite Book Character such as Postman Pat, Robin Hood or Snow White. I think that this is such a great way to encourage a love of books and we would love to know if your children are Dressing Up and if you are a book worm, if you have any recommendations please share them with us.

Australia Day is soon approaching and is on the 26th January. We have been looking at a bit of the history of Australia Day and how it is celebrated both in Australia with picnics, barbeques and firework displays and Overseas in pubs, bars and with black tie dinners. These events are decorated with Flags, Bunting and various Cutouts. Please let us know if you are celebrating Australia Day and what festivities you will be taking part in.

Today we would like to wish a Happy New Year to everybody celebrating Chinese New Year on January 23rd. This year is the Year of the Dragon and 15 days of festivities will be taking place in homes starting with a day spent with family and finishing with a New Year Parade. We would love to hear how you will be celebrating this year and whether you are going to be attending a Parade.

Today we would like to wish Catherine, The Duchess of Cambridge a very happy 30th birthaday. We have been talking about whether her celebrations will include Decorations and Balloons and wondering whether she will be celebrating with Prince William, Prince Harry, Prince Charles, Camilla and The Queen. We would also love to know your Party Ideas and whether you are planning a big Birthday Bash or have recently celebrated a special Birthday.

Having braved the weather to go back to work after the Christmas and New Year festivities it is now time to look forward to the great Summer Events (and some sunshine). These include The European Championships, The Queens Diamond Jubilee and The Olympics and are all good reasons for Get-Togethers and Barbeques.
