THANKSGIVING DAY

Today, November 24th, we celebrated Thanksgiving Day at our school.

The 5th graders learnt about the origin of this holiday by watching a cartoon video of CHarlie Brown. This film tells of the History of the first pilgrims that sailed in the Mayflower, their journey and challenges in the «new world».

The 6th graders remembered the importance of this special day and build thanking posters, begining with the sentence «I'm thankful for...».

The whole school was delighted with our lunch menu; turkey with vegetables, roast potatoes and chestnuts, vegetable soup and pumpkin pie hummmmm :)

Books of the Months: OCTOBER & NOVEMBER

Two books become the centre of our attention...
«Robin Hood» by Express Publishing and «Pip the Pirate» by Macmillan - both available in our library.

These two stories will be told to our young primary students this November by teacher Carla Seabra.

More news on this soon on our school's website! Pay attention :)

Some students came dressed with some Halloween accessories, as you can see in the photo.

The complete history and traditions of this special day were shared in a powerpoint presentation (on the school's educational platform).
At the end of the day, our young trick-or-treaters went to the Halloween disco, promoted by our senior students.
