SUMMARY:Positive Thinking Day
DESCRIPTION:Its Positive Thinking Day 🙂 \nNegative thinking has a way of sapping away a person’s self-worth and distorting a person’s view of the world. It also has a tendency of poisoning everything in that person that’s good and decent. \nFortunately\, that’s a process that can be stopped with a little bit of #PositiveThinking. Positive thinking\, when properly applied with purpose\, can help a person feel better about themselves and can make them feel like the best version of themselves. And that’s why Positive Thinking Day is such an important day. This unofficial holiday falls on the 13th of September and is designed to help everyone replace their negative thinking with more positive thoughts. \nAccording to a 2015 study\, positive thinking can be a good first step towards #BetterHealth. This study showed that people who were optimistic in their outlook were twice as likely to have strong cardiovascular health and had a lower amount of stress hormones in their bodies. \nAnyone who thinks this holiday might be a good day to turn around their positive thinking can do so by taking the time to celebrate #PositiveThinkingDay. They can this by giving themselves a positive affirmation on this day\, by showing gratitude to those around them\, or by taking a few moments to read motivational books. \n#ShowGratitude #PositiveAffirmations #BeKind #GetMotivated

SUMMARY:Children's Book Week 2

A fantastic opportunity for extended teaching on any of your favourite children’s books! This year\, 2024\, marks the 100th Anniversary of Children’s Book Week and the theme is “How Do You Book?”. \nWhen is Children’s Book Week?\nThere are technically no set dates for Children’s Book Week\, meaning you’re free to celebrate this whenever suits you! However\, in the UK\, this year the event takes place over two weeks: the 6th to 12th of May and the 4th to 10th of November. Join in the celebrations with our friends across the pond\, or tie in your Children’s Book Week celebrations around World Book Day. \nWhen did Children’s Book Week start?\nThe idea for this event was conceived by Franklin K. Matthiews\, the librarian of the Boy Scouts of America\, in 1913. He thought that a celebration of children’s books would help get more children into reading\, helped by the backing of publishers\, booksellers and librarians in the US. Now going on for over 100 years\, Children’s Book Week continues to grow in popularity year on year. \nHow can I get involved with Children’s Book Week?\nSimple. Get reading! There are so many fantastic children’s books available in libraries and bookshops that it can be difficult to know where to start your search for some great children’s literature. \n#HowDoYouBook #Literacy #ReadingForJoy #FavouriteBooks \n  \nSource: Children’s Book Week 2024 – Event Info and Resources (twinkl.co.uk)

SUMMARY:Chinese New Year
DESCRIPTION:Chinese New Year 2024 will take place on the 10th of February\, with the beginning of the Year of the Dragon. Celebrations will last from the 9th of February (New Year’s Eve) until the 15th day of the New Year. \nWhat is The Chinese New Year calendar?\nEach year (also known as a cycle) of the Chinese New Year calendar is represented by a different zodiac animal. There are 12 in total. According to legend\, these 12 animals participated in a race\, which then determined their place of order in the Chinese New Year calendar. \nWhy is Chinese New Year celebrated?\nChinese New Year\, also known as the Lunar New Year or the Spring Festival\, marks the first day of the New Year in the Chinese traditional calendar\, which is a lunisolar calendar. Unlike the Gregorian calendar\, used widely around the world today\, the lunisolar calendar determines dates using the location of the sun and the moon relative to the Earth. This is why\, on our Western calendars\, the date changes each year! \nIt is one of the most important events in Chinese culture and the holiday is today celebrated all around the world. Many other countries celebrate the holiday as an official festival (Korea\, Vietnam\, Singapore\, Malaysia\, Indonesia and the Philippines) due to its cultural significance. \nWhat are some Chinese New Year traditions?\nTraditionally\, Chinese New Year is a time for people to honour their ancestors and deities. Still\, many of the customs and traditions of the holiday vary wildly from region to region. Many families across China gather the night before Chinese New Year’s Day for a festive dinner to reunite them. Many people will also clean their house before the new year; this is done to cleanse any ill fortune and is thought to allow for good luck going into the new year. \nIt is also customary for people to decorate their windows and doors with red decorations\, as red is seen as a lucky colour in Chinese culture. Many also light firecrackers and gift money in red paper envelopes to celebrate! \n  \n#ChineseNewYear #YearOfTheDragon \nChinese New Year – Wikipedia
