Hi, dear friends!
On the 8 March we celebrate the Pancake Day. It is an old tradition in many countries like England, the USA, Canada, Australia. We'd like to tell about this ritual and we found out something interesting:
"In the United Kingdom of Great Britian, Northern Ireland and several other countries around the world, Pancake Day is celebrated with fun, games, and of course a lot of eating. However, the most well known activity on this day is the Pancake Day race at Olney in Buckinghamshire, England which has been held since 1445. It all began when a woman was cooking pancakes on Shrove Tuesday to use up all of her perishables before Lent. While she was still cooking she heard the chiming of the bells summoning her to church. Not wanting to be late, the woman ran to church with her apron on and the frying pan still in her hand. Little did she know that this would start a tradition that would be around for over 500 years!"
This week Darina and I had got two lessons about this festival. Our pupils were glad that learned more of it. Hope that your children will like this holiday, too.
Kind regards, Reny, Darina, pupils
This is a space to share outcomes from an eTwinning project between several schools in Europe. Our pupils are from 6 to 12 years old and our team intend to share songs that children sing in their childhood, songs that all of us learn from our parents and grandparents and also in schools and much more...

Hello everybody
I didn't know about this Pancake Day. It's funny!
Now we are starting the Carnival celebration.
We will have 3 free days next week.
I'm organizing some pictures to post, ok?
Hi, Betty!
We're looking forward your materials!
Have a nice time with the carnival!
Greetings from Bulgaria, Reny, Darina, pupils
