Un tuffo nelle tradizioni dei nostri partners inglesi/A dive into our English partners' traditions: HALLOWEEN and BONFIRE NIGHT!











Continuano gli scambi con i nostri amici inglesi. Ecco alcune notizie di prima mano su due loro feste tradizionali viste e raccontate da bambini. Grazie a Phil ed ai suoi alunni!

The exchanges with our English friend continue. Here some first hand news about two traditional festivities of theirs. Thanks to Phil and to his pupils!

Yes it is true that Halloween (late October) and Guy Fawkes/Bonfire Night (early November) are BIG dates in the child's diary. As soon as they are over everyone starts looking towards Christmas. Some church-going Christians think of the coming of our Lord in a series of Sunday services known as the period of Advent. (The four Sundays leading up to Christmas) Most people though put up thier Christmas trees, have colourful lights around their house, spend too much money at the shops on each other and generally eat and drink too much also !!
One development at our school this week has been us enrolling on an artistic website called the Saatchi gallery. It contains artworks from schools all over the World and says that it is "hit" 50 million times per day !! (THat is BUSY !)
Our page is at

Please look ? (There are about 35 of our pictures there)
Ciao, PHIL
