Happy New Year Again!

Kung Hei Fat Choy

Many lucky AllStars had the opportunity to celebrate another New Year last week. It was the Lunar (or Chinese) New Year and lots of special celebrations took place to welcome in the Year of the Rat. Parades with Dragons and fireworks, yummy food and even red envelopes with money inside!

In our class, some people dressed up, some received money from relatives, some visited temples, and others had parties. Even Sandy dressed up in a Chinese outfit and joined in the fun

Here are some photos of us enjoying the celebrations!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Last week we had a visit from the “Keep Australia Beautiful” council and we learnt all about our rubbish and the wide world of waste!

We found out about

landfill
bacteria
chemicals
bottles, glass, jars
plastics
recyclables
contamination
toxic
dangers
marine life
pollution
garbage

and our responsibilities towards our waste and rubbish.

There were lots of interesting things to think about - leave a comment on something YOU will do as a result of taking responsibility for your waste and rubbish :D
