According to the North American tradition, at Alqueria we have celebrated Thanksgiving Day. For Lindley it is the most special day of the year. They commemorate the day Native Americans and Europeans sat down together to share a feast that lasted for 3 days in 1620. Europeans arrived to Plymouth Rock and didn’t know how to grow vegetables or how to hunt. Native Americans taught them and they were thankful for that. Nowadays, there is a beautiful feeling about this day and families and friends gather together to share a very special meal with turkey, sweet potatoes, corn, pumpkin pie, stuffing, cranberry sauce… HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
PS: Children have created their own Thanksgiving tree and have left their messages hanging on it. Lindley has brought mini-pumpkin pies with cream to share with students. Thank you, Lindley.
Year 2 is flying! They are so motivated and relaxed learning that they acquire knowledge at great speed. We are now focused on actions, phonics, reading, and tricky words.
Year 2 has started like rockets! They already know a lot of the 42 sounds of the English phonetic system, but they are also acquiring a good reading speed and comprehension. We have started to read books for beginners. Besides this, they are really into Halloween mood and costumes. They claim for more information about Halloween and its traditions. It is not easy but we think they got most of the story. Happy Halloweeen everyone!
