Thanksgiving

Hi there please read through my slideshow to learn more about Thanksgiving as a celebration.

I do not think New Zealanders should celebrate thanksgiving because it is not a really important thing to celebrate in New Zealand.  This is my opinion.  What do you think about thanksgiving?  Should we celebrate it here in Aotearoa?

A Day Out In The Country

A DAY OUT IN THE COUNTRY

An adult Wedge taíled eagle hovered in the sky as large, puffy clouds rolled quickly south and the day drew close to noon. It was autumn and the gum trees on the ridge were making their annual donation of brown stained leaves to the wet surface below. In the distance, a herd of cattle moved slowly in Indian file towards their favourite resting spot near the creek’s edge.

 

It was here that the Jones family were busily preparing the picnic lunch which they would share with their overdue guests, the Harris family. At l. 15 p.m., exactly 60 minutes late, Mr and Mrs Harris and their three children arrived. Mr Jones had already collected enough Wood to light a to boil the billy.

 

Meanwhile, as the four adults chattered around the fire site, the seven children played cricket close to the babbling water of the creek.
