Tomorrow, December 2nd, is the 40th National Day here in the UAE where we live. It's also Aunty Laura's(Mummy's) birthday so that's how Nan remembers the date.
National day is a bit like Australia Day in Australia where everyone celebrates their special country. Children all around the world love where they live because they were born there.
On Australia Day there is a big parade in the city and everyone waves an Australian flag.
Well here in the UAE the children dress up in the colours of their flag which are black, red, green and white. Some people put coloured ribbons and stickies on their cars and it's like a big party.
Nan and Pop are teachers and we teach adults how to speak English. Yesterday they were allowed to bring their children and we dressed up and had a party at the College with their Dads.
Here are some pictures of some of the children.
The boy at the top has a flag painted onto his left cheek and some hearts painted onto his right cheek.

Can you see Pop in his special clothes as well? It was lots of fun to dress up for the special party.
