Where can I find information about holidays and festivals?

Level: Primary / Intermediate

Many of the AnyQuestions.co.nz libraries have great info on their websites. We recommend having a look at these pages:

Christchurch City Libraries, Kids Homework Zone has information suitable for primary school students. Check the Facts about... section and click on Holidays.

Auckland City Libraries has links and info on Celebrations and Commemorations in their homework section.

The Wellington City Libraries Kids Catalogue also has lots of links on popular celebrations. To find them:

• Open their homepage
• Navigate to Catalogue Search
• Then Kids-Friendly Catalogue and then choose the remote option.
• Choose Explore
• Then New Zealand/Aotearoa
• Then New Zealand Holidays.
• For general festivals, holidays and celebrations chooseExplore
• Then Holidays & Festivals.
• Hot tip: as this is a book catalogue - don't forget to look out for the button with the spider which says: see web pages.
