April fool's day

Why is All Fools' Day celebrated on 1st April?

April Fools' Day or All Fools' Day is celebrated in many countries on April 1. People play hoaxes and other practical jokes on friends, family members, relatives and neighbours, or send them on fool's errand to embarrass these people. Traditionally, in some countries, the jokes only last until noon: like UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, someone who plays a trick after noon is called an "April Fool". Elsewhere, such as in Ireland, France, and the USA, the jokes last all day.

The tradition begins in France in 1582 . Before that year, the New Year was celebrated for eight days, beginning on March 25; the celebration culminated on April1. With the reform of the calendar made by Charles IX, the Gregorian calendar was introduced, and New Year´s Day was moved to January 1. However, communication in those days was not good. News travelled by foot and many people did not receive it for several years. Others, refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the New Year´s on April 1. Overtime, it evolved into a tradition on April 1st, being remembered as chaotic and unpredictable day.

In our country we have a similar celebration on 28th December. Now, you have a second chance to play a joke on someone but please, be good teasers.

Today we are going to enjoy working with computers, and learning so much.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

This term we are reading Lewis Carroll's classic children's story, Alice's Adventure's in Wonderland. This was a pen-name. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was the author's real name. Alice's world is a dream she is living herself. Is life a dream? Enjoy your reading and have fun with these games and the video.

Peace day 30th January

You worked a lot on the topic of peace the weeks before . You enjoyed the competition as much as I did. You are studying the list of irregular verbs (I hope!!) but you can also have a break and watch the video as a result of it.

Irregular verbs

You are studying irregular verbs to speak and write correctly in the past time. You have learnt a lot after having read Treasure Island but you need practise and ,of course, great interest on your side. Remember that you have to learn those verbs by heart. Here you have a video to watch, read and listen to a list of verbs. This will help you. After that you can practise by speaking and writing those verbs on your own too. Visit the post on our wiki to learn more.

Lots of LOVE...

Next Saturday Saint Valentine's day: lovers' date is celebrated all around the world. You can also show your friends and family how much you do love them. I send you all a big hug and I hope you have a "loving" weekend. If you want to send a poem and an e-card to a friend, follow the steps. You can practise English and show your loving wishes. Enjoy the video .You can follow the lyrics of this song by the Cranberries. Big hugs and kisses.

SEARCHING FOR THE TREASURE

Yesterday we eventually played the competition to search for the treasure. Remember, you were "pirates" of peace and you got a message to fight for it. Here is a photo. You can see your drawings and messages of peace by clicking here.

CHILDREN FIGHT FOR A BETTER WORLD

Who says that you cannot play your part to make A BETTER VALUABLE WORLD? For these two weeks in your English lessons you have learnt a lot about the concept of peace and great people who fought for it .Caring about our planet is also a question of peace and good actions.

Children have also a lot to say and do. This is an example of a young fighter in its defence :" You adults, you must change your ways...I am here to fight for my future..."

I know that you all are responsible for the planet and are sensitive people. I have learnt that from your messages of peace and your drawings.

SCIENCE & PEACE

Today, in class , we will commemorate the International Day of Peace learning more about Alfred Nobel and The Nobel Awards.First, we will do a webquest and later there are a lot of games. Are you ready? CLICK HERE.
