Celebrations around the world!


Our home task was to research a celebration from another culture and discuss the food the people might eat.  

Lily chose to interview her aunty Dianne, on the celebration Perahera (Budder's tooth) from the country Sri Lanka. 

Question 1: How many times have you been to Sri Lanka? 
Answer 1: Two times 

Q2: What was the best thing about Sri Lanka? 
A2: The people. They always have a smile on their face and they are really poor. 

Q3: What was your favourite area? 
A3: Galle

Q4: What was your favourite food? 
A4: Her favourite food was they tasty bananas. 

Q5: What what was your favourite thing about the Perahera? 
A5: The elephants, because they are covered in jewellery and beautiful cloth.    



What food do you enjoy in Sri Lanka? Is it different to my aunties? 


Edie chose to research Thanks Giving, a celebration from North America.
She discovered from using Wikipedia that in America they eat deer, corn, self fish, roasted meat and cranberries.


Do you eat different foods at your family thanks giving dinner? 

Ella chose to research Carnaval from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
She discovered three days before Ash Wednesday in lent, one of the worlds most spectacular Carnivals takes place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Carnival means carne vale 'good bye to meat'
In the performances the percussionists wear 3 colours, pink, green and silver. The food that you will see is, Pineapple, Linguica (sausage on a stick), Guava, coconut milk, chicken parcels and pipoca (pink popcorn).

  1. I will share 2 holidays. 1) in Mexico on New Year Day we eat 12 grapes at the stroke of midnight for good luck. Then, we have a big meal that includes bacalao- salted fish and olives in a tomato sauce. 2) in the US for Thanksgiving we eat sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, turkey, stuffing (bread cooked inside the turkey), and corn bread with cheese. Good luck on your project!!! :) (Becky from kidworldcitizen.org)
