We're starting to celebrate Halloween in school.
In our 6è English class we are studing the origin of Halloween.
Halloween was a celtic festival it celebrated the Celtic New year.
In October English speaking countries, families go to farms to buy pumpkins.
They take the pumpkins home to make a Jack O'lantern.
On 31 October, children visit people's houses and ask for sweets.
They say "TRICK OR TREAT" "Give me a sweet or I will play a trick on you!"
That's really nice! I'm a mum of a 2nd grade girl, and I am so sad they have done nothing about the Halloween tradition in the English Class this year! When we were living in Ireland we carved a pumpkin, we opened the door to kids who were asking for sweets, and we dressed like witches! It's really fun! ;)
