What is Australia Day about?

Australia Day, celebrated on the 26 January, is the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet of 11 convict ships from Great Britain. It also marks the  the raising of the Union Jack at Sydney Cove by its commander Captain Arthur Phillip, in 1788.

 

Australia Day

On Australia Day, Australians come together as a nation to celebrate what is great about Australia and being Australian. Over half of the nation’s population of 21 million attend either an organised community event, or get together with family and friends with the intention of celebrating the national day.

They:

  •  reflect on what they have achieved and what they can be proud of as a nation
  • re-commit to making Australia an even better place for the future.
  • reflect on the nation’s history

How do they celebrate?

  1. They play Games and activities.
  2. They watch firework displays
  3. They have costume/ dress up parties
  4. By eating special foods
  5. By attending concerts
  6. By participating in dance festivals

At some point in my teaching career I came to realise how little ‘real’ information there was for parents. I would get the same questions from friends and parents mainly about keeping the children learning and engaged and this only increased when I gave birth to my daughter. Read more about me and what motivated me to start Toddlebabes.
