Last Thursday, 26th of November, Thanksgiving Day, we had a visit from the USA. He is the teaching assistant in Salvador de Madariaga School and he kindly came to talk about a typical Northamerican celebration : Thanksgiving Day. We learned many things about the USA and the pilgrims and the Native Americans who helped them. We sang the song " Born in the USA" too. It was an unforgettable day!!! Thanks Bryon!!!

Thanksgiving in the USA

Hi dear kids,

The fourth Thursday of November is the day when Americans celebrate Thanksgiving Day.  This day in the United States is a time to enjoy delicious holiday meals, to gather with family and friends and to express gratitude.  It's also a time for holiday parades and playing games together. 

In 1620, the ship Mayflower arrived to the East coast of USA. More than 100 British pilgrims stayed to live there.  Winter was difficult and they were very hungry.  The native indians helped them with seeds and food to survive in their new home.  Next year the fall harvest was good. They celebrated a big feast with the native Americans ( the wampanoag). Today we call it the First Thanksgiving.

Let´s learn more about this celebration with these activities.
