Hi everbody!
In our last English lesson we were watching a short video clip called "The Story of Thanksgiving".
I am going to summarize it for you:
In 1620 Great Britains (also called Pilgrim Fathers) crossed the Atlantic Ocean by a sailing ship and arrived at the east coast of America.
They arrived in winter and firstly they tried to build a village of wooden houses. But it was very cold and they could not find any food so it was pretty hard for them to survive.
But then spring came and everything got better. They wanted to grow something and so they decided to dig a hole. But the Pilgrim Fathers were not experienced farmers and so they were not successful.
After a while they met Indians. The Indians helped them to grow and harvest potatoes, corn and so on.
So the Pilgrims invited the Indians for a great meal. They thanked god for all they had and decided to celebrate this "party" every year.
Nowadays families and friends get together and cook great dishes which inlcudes a turkey, pumpkins and potatoes.
