Halloween


This week it's Halloween. Here are som facts about it:

  • Halloween is celebrated, the 31st of October and is thought to be the one night of the year when ghosts and witches are extra active.
  • Halloween is one of the oldest celebrations in the world, over 2000 years old.
  • The name comes from ‘All Hallow’s Eve’ when people celebrated saints
  • It is thought that the colours orange and black became Halloween colours because orange stands for harvest and black for death.
  • A pumpkin is really a squash, and comes from the same family as the cucumber. Pumkins are carved and used as lanterns.
  • Ringing a bell scares evil spirits away.
  • Bonfires are lit to scare evil spirits away.
  • If you see a spider on this night, it could be the spirit of a dead loved one who is watching you.
  • To meet a witch, put your clothes on inside out and walk backwards on Halloween night.
  • Children dress up as monsters or ghosts and knock on doors and says ”Trick or treat”. If they don’t get sweets they will do a prank.

Robin Hood


I morgon fredag ska femmorna presentera den karaktär de valt från Robin Hood. Det ska bli riktigt spännande! Vi har sedan några veckor arbetat med Robin Hood och vi har tittat på Disneys film helt på engelska.

Don't Argue With Me!

Today we had a class debate in 7C. The subject was animal rights. The class was divided into four groups who had prepared arguments in beforehand. Everyone did so well and I am so very proud of them.
