Thanksgiving



 Hello!
Today we celebrate Thanksgiving!

And what's Thanksgiving?  Thanksgiving is a big celebration in the United States of America and Canada.




In the XVII century some pilgrims fron England traveled to America.




The traveled in a big ship called Mayflower.


When they arrived to America it was winter and they had no house or food.
They lived in the boat and they ate only fish.

In Spring the native americans helped them. They gave the pilgrims food and seeds.

When the pilgrims picked a big harvest in autumn they called the native americans and they had a big dinner together to celebrate the harvest and to say thanks to those who had helped them.

Now they remember that date having a dinner with our family and  being grateful for all the things we have; family, friends, house, school,  teachers ...

They have roasted turkey with a big variety of side dishes, and wonderful pies

Even the Simpsons celebrate Thanksgiving 


I upload some photos of the Thanksgiving dinner and a colouring page .The map is in order not to get  lost.
