On Tuesday November 3, all the students from the centre joined together to celebrate the Melbourne Cup. Everyone combined to take part in four special activities.
First of all, they watched a video about the history and the culture of the Cup. It told them about the horses, the fashion and gambling on the day. It also told about a very famous horse called Phar Lap.
Next, they separated into groups. One group took part in a sweep, another group had a horse race and a third group did a quiz about the Cup.
There was one other group that was making hats called fascinators. People had to cut some net and sewed it onto a hair comb. Then they glued on a flower. Later, some people were wearing their hats.
This was an interesting day because I learned lots of things on this special day.

The Melbourne Cup morning was a lot of fun.
Here are some of the photos from the day. If you would like to see more, go to the P drive and look there.
