El pasado jueves 26 de noviembre celebramos el Thanksgiving Day (Día de Acción de Gracias) en Segura de Toro y en Gargantilla. Esta fiesta quiere conmemorar el encuentro entre los nativos americanos y los colonos ingleses que llegaron a esas tierras y que lograron convivir en paz y en armonía, sembrando y recolectando las cosechas y ayudándose en todas las tareas, que finalmente celebraban con un gran banquete que duraba tres días. Hoy en día es una festividad para estar en familia, ver los desfiles por las calles y comer deliciosos alimentos, sobre todo, pavo.
Our native teacher, Derek, was discovering
us, during the week, all the secrets of this celebration. He told us the
history, the way to celebrate it, the parades that are made and the different
foods that are eaten to celebrate this festival. On the day of the celebration,
with José Luis we read a story, we watched some videos, we sang some songs, we completed
some review worksheets and finally we made some turkeys, with a thank you message
included in their feathers to make a mural.
It was a great day, where we learned a lot
of things and had a lot of fun. We leave you some photos of this great day in the different
classrooms ...
Very soon we will continue with more activities...
