This year is literally flying by and I’ve already missed some important dates to celebrate in October! We still have United Nations Day, Children’s Week, Diwali (festival of light and hope), Chuseok (South Korean harvest festival) and of course Halloween to come but it’s really interesting when you start looking up what actually gets celebrated in October. I mean who knew there is a National Bathtub Day or a National Train Your Brain Day?

Whatever you celebrate in October we’d love to hear about it. Send your poems into ozchildrenspoetry@gmail.com. Remember if you send in a photo with your poem please include the correct attribution link and make sure it is free to use.
