HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Today is
Thanksgiving in the USA and our friend Kimberly has told us about the
celebration.
It consists of a day
of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding
year. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the
United States and on the second Monday of October in Canada.
The event that
Americans commonly call the "First Thanksgiving" was
celebrated by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in the New World
in 1621. This feast lasted three days, and it was attended by 90
Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims.
In the United
States, certain kinds of food are traditionally served at
Thanksgiving meals. Firstly, baked or roasted turkey is usually the
featured item on any Thanksgiving feast table (so much so that
Thanksgiving is sometimes referred to as "Turkey Day").
Stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, sweet potatoes, cranberry
sauce, sweet corn, various fall vegetables (mainly various kinds of
squashes), and pumpkin pie are commonly associated with Thanksgiving
dinner.
In order to
celebrate Thanksgiving at school, our small children have dranw a
turkey using his hand and we gave thanks for all the things we are
gratefull for in our lifes such as family, friends, love...

Materials: Paper roll, an orange papercard, some yellow wool, a newspaper, felt tips, glue.
First, we cut a strip of orange card and stick it on the top of the roll to make the scarecrow head. Then we cut several strips of wool and stick them on the scarecrow head to make the hair. Then, we make a paper hat using a newspaper and put it on the top. Finally, we decorate the scarecrow with the parts of the face and the clothes.

Owl toilet paper roll craft:
Materials: Toilet paper roll and felt tops.
This is a very simple craft to make with small children, as the only thing we have to do is to fold the top of the roll to make the head shape, and then, let the children decorate it with felt tips of different colours.

First, we cut out orange paper lengthwise into strips. Then, we made an
asterisk or star shape by using six paper strips. Finally we fan out the
paper strips from the star shape into a pumpkin shape and put some
green strips on the top of the pumpkin to make the leaves.
Year 1: Bat toilet paper roll craft
First we colored the paper roll with black paint and let it dry. Then, we gave the children a paper card with the silhouette of a bat and they cut and decorated it. Once the paper rolls were dry we stuck the bat shapes on the roll. Finally, we folded the top of the rolls to make the ears of the bat.
