Today, I did a task in which I searched how different countries celebrate New Year.
First, I read this article about New Year in other countries so that I get more information.
Second, I watched this video in which I saw how people do fireworks to celebrate.
Third, I used the information that I learnt from the article and the video to complete each slide of the presentation.
Fourth, I searched up all the flags of the countries on the slides and pasted them.
Next, I checked what month every country celebrates New Year. I noticed that all the countries in the presentation celebrate New Year on January 1st or December 31st.
Then, I searched up what season it is around the world during New Year and the interesting ways different countries celebrate New Year.
Lastly, I embedded my google presentation on my blog post so that I can share it.
I learnt that different countries celebrate the same festival in different ways with their beliefs and traditions.
My favourite way of celebrating New Year in a country was Portugal because they wear something blue and it is my favourite colour. I also like how they make twelve wishes for the next year.
Something I found unique was that people in Brazil gather together to celebrate at Copacabana Beach and at midnight people throw flowers in the ocean.
I liked doing this Summer Learning Journey task because I got to know how different every country is while celebrating New Year.

It’s great to see that you enjoyed this activity! Well done finding some great facts about new year's celebrations around the world.
Did you enjoy learning about the different new years traditions in other countries and cultures? I think the Portugal celebration sounds interesting, I wonder if there is a reason behind why they wear blue.
How did you celebrate New Years?
Keep up the good work and I hope to see more of your posts during the Summer Learning Journey!!
