The New Year lasts one day, and people come over and we have a big party. My Uncle celebrated his birthday last Friday instead of next week, because we wouldn t be allowed to eat cake. At the party my mom and dad s friends will come and my two cousins will come. They are younger than me. We have to wear a yarmulke when we re in synagogue.
Girls don t wear that.
We saw the places they visited in Australia on a slide show. We saw a didgeridoo, which is a musical instrument, made of tree trunks. We also saw pictures of Australian animals like koalas, dingoes, and kangaroos. We learned about a mountain called Ayers Rock that turns red at sunset. We also saw a real boomerang made by the Aborigines.
