NAIDOC WEEK
While NAIDOC week is now celebrated by Aussies right around the country, it actually started out as a protest way back in 1938. On the 26th of January, protesters marched through Sydney in what organisers called the day of mourning. You see, for a lot of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, January 26th or Australia Day marks when the land they'd been living on for thousands of years was claimed by someone else and started hundreds of years of mistreatment and discrimination. Over the years the protest shifted to become more of a celebration of the milestones that Indigenous people have achieved. It was moved to the first Sunday of July and eventually extended to a week to allow for more events and activities, including the NAIDOC awards, which recognise First Nations people who have done significant things. But most importantly, NAIDOC week is a time for Aussies to get together, engage, learn and proudly celebrate the world's oldest continuous living culture.
NAIDOC AWARDS
This year's NAIDOC Awards have been handed out in Adelaide. The theme 'Keep The Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud,' celebrates the survival, spirit and strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. There were ten award winners, including Dante Rodrigues who won the Youth of the Year Award as the first Aboriginal kickboxer to represent Australia at the Olympics and Aunty Muriel Bamblett who was named NAIDOC Person of the Year for her work with the Victorian Aboriginal Child Care Agency.
MARS MISSION
After more than a year, a NASA crew has re-emerged from Mars… well sort of. On June 25th last year, the four-person crew entered their 3D-printed simulation of Mars which obviously isn't actually on Mars but at the Johnson Space Centre in Houston. During their stay they tested out what life would be like on the red planet to help NASA prep for future missions.
EUROS
First destination, the Euros quarter finals, where the Netherlands looked to be in trouble. Their opponents, Turkey, got ahead in the 35th minute with this header from Samet Akaydin, but a powerful reply from Dutch Stefan de Vrij and this 76th-minute Turkish own goal sent the Netherlands through to the semi-finals where England will be too! Their match against Switzerland ended in penalties following a 1-all deadlock in extra time, but five flawless goals and one game-changing save from England's goalie Jordan Pickford were enough to defeat the Swiss.
FORMULA ONE
England's celebrations continued at our next stop, the F1 British Grand Prix, as home-ground hero Lewis Hamilton copped his first win since 2021! McLaren and Red Bull were hot on the heels of Mercedes in the opening laps, even leap-frogging for the lead! But rain and slippery track conditions gave Hamilton the edge for a record-breaking ninth win at Silverstone, more than any other driver!
FLOATING VOLLEYBALL
And for our final stop, some magic volleyball in Slovenia! There isn't actually any magic involved, sorry. This Volleyball court was built on the bed of the Ljubljanica river for the coveted international volleyball on water tournament! Creative name. 16 international players splashed it out over the weekend and it was quite a spectacle.
WORLD SNAIL RACING CHAMPIONSHIPS
On your marks, get set, GO! You're looking at the UK's World Snail Racing Championships. This year's victor, with a winning time of four minutes and three seconds was Jeff the snail. Congratulations buddy.
BELL SCHOOL
Now to the art of bell ringing. For thousands of years, the ancient practice was performed to tell the time, but with modern technology, this art isn't as popular, something this school in Spain is trying to change. And guess what, you're looking at its first graduating class.
PANDAS TURN ONE
And finally, it's time to sing Happy Birthday, because these twin pandas in South Korea have turned one! They were spoiled with everything from bamboo dumbbells, to bamboo microphones and bamboo cake. And it looks like they enjoyed their gifts, for like the first five minutes or so.
