Grade 1 have been exploring celebrations around the world. After discussing thanksgiving children told us the things that they are thankful for.

Here are some of their ideas:

I am thankful for my sister, my mum and my dad because they all help me. My sister plays with me and keeps me company. I am thankful for friends because they are nice to me and they play with me.

I am thankful for my school because it helps me learn.

I am thankful for the school that I go to because I get to play with my friends every day.

I am thankful for my food because my mum worked very hard to make it.

I am thankful for having a big house because I have my own room. I have a giant backyard, three bathrooms and four bedrooms.

I am thankful that Martin is born and that my mum and dad raised me because they give food to me and take care of me and Martin.

I am thankful for nan and pop because I get to go to Scamander for a holiday to see my nan and pop. I love them a lot.

I am thankful for Anne because she is nice.

I am thankful for Eylse because she is kind.

I am thankful for air because it helps us to breathe and if we didn’t have air we would not be alive.

I am thankful for being alive, if I wasn’t alive I wouldn’t be in this wonderful world.
