Today I am talking about The Diamond Jubilee and how it seems that Street Parties and Events are being organised earlier than they were for The Royal Wedding. Realising how much enjoyment came from the festivities of The Royal Wedding people want to get involved and do it all over again by planning get- togethers and Union Jack Themed Parties. Please let me know if you will be having a Street Party or if you are involved in arranging any Special Events.

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.
