THANKSGIVING November 2012

Well its nearly the end of November, my how time flies!
We have been looking at Thanksgiving in the classrooms.
Although it is not celebrated in my country it is a big festival in America and I have been telling the children a short and simplified history of Thanksgiving:



The Pilgrims left Europe in 1620 on a ship called the Mayflower
  It took a long time - 2 months before they arried in America.
When they arrived in America it was cold, and they had not food... Many Pilgrims died.
But they made friends with the Indians, 

who showed them how to plant food - like corn and pumpkins and to hunt the turkey.

            

The Pilgrims wanted to say thank you to their new friends and for the food so they had a big dinner altogether and this is Thanksigiving.



Here is a fun song to sing-a-long to:
