 * The Yearly Cycle **

In your exercise books, draw the calendar (there is a picture of the calendar below). You need to colour in and label the calendar year with as many events as possible that are significant to you and others.

These should include:
 * 1) The four seasons: Spring, summer, autumn and winter – Colour these in.
 * 2) School Holidays - Shade these in.
 * 3) Sporting Events, Family Celebrations etc.
 * 4) Your Birthday
 * 5) Family Birthdays
 * 6) Family Anniversaries (Weddings etc)
 * 7) Mother’s Day, Father’s Day.
 * 8) Public Holidays: Australia Day, Queen’s Birthday, Labour Day, Anzac Day etc.
 * 9) New Year’s Day in Australia
 * 10) New Year’s Day in other cultures, e.g. Chinese New Year

Answer the following questions in your exercise book.


 * 1) Why do we celebrate these days every year?
 * 2) Why do we celebrate Mother’s day or Father’s day once a year? What is the point of remembering it EVERY year?
