Thanksgiving

Hi there,

Today we deal with an element of the American culture. In the U.S.A, Thanksgiving is always celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November.

Although Thanksgiving celebrations dated back to the first European settlements in America, it was not until the 1860s that Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday of November to be a national holiday.

Here's a fantastic video about the main facts of this typical celebration:

In the following one you can watch a simple explanation made by and for children.

The following one includes a song about the traditional food eaten at Thanksgiving.

Besides, if you feel like playing an online game about a turkey hunt, just click on the following image and have fun!

And finally, what are you thankful for? Fell free to leave a comment in the section below and let us know!

Bonfire Night!

Hello everyone!

Today a very special day is celebrated in Britain. Have you ever heard of Guy Fawkes? Keep on reading!

"Remember, remember,

the fifth of November,

Gunpowder, treason and plot.

We see no reason why

Gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot!"

On 5th November every year, children in Britain get excited because it is Bonfire Night (Guy Fawkes' Night). People light bonfires and enjoy fireworks displays. On top of the fire there is a guy (a homemade dummy).

On this day people commemorate when the King of England, James I, and the Houses of Parliament were almost blown up with gunpowder by Guy Fawkes and his gang.

Apart from burning the effigy of Guy Fawkes, bonfires are used to prepare Jacket Potatoes  and to heat up soup for the people that go to watch the fireworks.

The traditional cake eaten on bonfire night is Parkin Cake, a sticky cake containing a mix of oatmeal, ginger, treacle and syrup.

Some other typical food include sausages cooked over the flames and marshmallows toasted in the fire.

Do you want to know more about it? The following videos contain great explanations about this special day.

In the second one you can watch a British family talking about how they celebrate it!

And... Surprise! The next two videos are recordings of the Bonfire Night that I celebrated when I lived in Oundle, a tiny village not far from Cambridge.

Finally, to celebrate your Bonfire Night without any risk, let's try the following craft!

Enjoy Bonfire Night!

Natural Science 5th Grade: Unit 2 - The variety of life

Hi there,

1.The five kingdoms

Here you have two videos to get more information about the five kingdoms we are learning at school.

2. Fungi, protozoa, and bacteria

Germs are found all over the world, in all kinds of places. They can invade plants, animals, and people, and sometimes they can make us sick.

Fungi (say: FUN-guy): These are multi-celled (made of many cells), plant-like organisms. Unlike other plants, fungi can't make their own food, instead, they get their nutrition from plants, people, and animals. They love to live in damp, warm places, and many fungi are not dangerous in healthy people. An example of something caused by fungi is athlete's foot, that itchy rash that people sometimes get between their toes.

Protozoa (say: pro-toh-ZOH-uh): These one-celled organisms love moisture and often spread diseases through water. Some protozoa cause intestinal infections that lead to diarrhea, nausea, and belly pain.

Bacteria (say: bak-TEER-ee-uh): These tiny, one-celled creatures get nutrients from their environments. In some cases in a human body. Bacteria can reproduce outside of the body or within the body as they cause infections. Some infections that bacteria cause include ear infections, sore throats (tonsillitis or strep throat), cavities, and pneumonia (say: new-MO-nyuh). But some bacteria are good for our bodies as they help keep things in balance. Good bacteria live in our intestines and help us use the nutrients in the food we eat and make waste from what's left over. We couldn't make the most of a healthy meal without these important helper germs! Some bacteria are also used by scientists in labs to produce medicines and vaccines (say: vak-SEENS).

4. Relationships between living things
