Did you know there is an Australian Princess?

Her name is Princess Mary and she is from Tasmania, in Australia.

She is not the princess of Australia! She married the Prince of Denark, so she is the Princess of Denmark! That means she has to use Danish everyday!

Recently, she went to New York.

Question: Would you like to be a prince or princess? Why or why not?

Last year in Sydney, there was a lunar eclipse.

A lunar eclipse is when the earth’s shadow covers the moon (lunar, means moon). It makes the moon look blood-red!

Click on the link below to read the newspaper article and see a picture.

The article’s title is: ‘Never mind a blue moon, it’s been eclipsed’.

This title comes from the saying: ‘Once in a blue moon’. It means ‘rarely’.

EXAMPLE:

once in a blue moon

Yeah, but rarely

Question: Have you seen a lunar eclipse?

What do you like to do once in a blue moon?
