Thanksgiving Day!

Thanksgiving Day is a holiday popular mainly In Canada and the USA. It’s celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the U.S.A. Very popular dishes are roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. You can find the recipe of the pie and do it yourself. It’ll be on  ‘’ Royal Press” .

                                                                                                                    Enjoy! J


On the 3rd of December there was a Thanksgiving Day in our middle school. We invited mrs Patricia Mazur and mr Piotr Mazur from the USA to celebrate it together. Firstly, students presented a short history of Thanksgiving Day. They asked us a few interesting questions about that holiday. Then our class presented a "Turkey Dance". You should absolutely listen it up and dance, maybe! The girls were dancing an antique indian dance. It was fantastic. I'm sure everybody was feeling like a few hundred years ago. After that our class sang a song called "It's Thanksgiving". Girls from other classes sang "Jar of hearts" by Christina Perri and "Say something" by A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera. It was really emotional. After that, we were asking Patricia and Piotr questions. For exemple,what do they do in their free time. Then there was a sweet treat (sweets and traditional cookies with cranberry) and pumpkin soup. That meeting was really nice nd interesting. We found out a lot of things about Thanksgiving Day and America. We've had a great time.

Bonfire Night!!

Bonfire Night !
Bonfire Night is celebrated all over the UK.
Every year on 5th November, the anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot, Guy Fawkes is remembered

Why do we have Guys and Fireworks on Bonfire Night?
The Guy (effigy) is made out of old clothes stuffed with paper or straw. The Guy is a reminder of Guy Fawkes.
The fireworks are a reminder of the gunpowder Guy Fawkes hid in the cellar of Parliament.

Traditional Bonfire Night Food:
As well as burning effigy of Guy Fawkes, the bonfires are used to cook potatoes wrapped in foil and to heat up soup for the crowds that come to watch the fireworks.

Firework Displays:
In main town and cities, torch-lit processions are also popular on this night too. The procession leads to where the bonfire and firework displays are.
