A Family Celebration Lunch

Our inquiry unit has been about Celebrations.

We have looked at how we celebrate

 and how other people in the World 

celebrate important occasions.

We brought to school an item of food 

that we might have at a celebration.

It was great to see and hear about the 
wonderful variety of food that is special 
to each of us at Family Celebrations.
