Halloween is coming to class and you have to be ready!

     

                   In Britain and the USA, the 31st of October is an important date in the calendar, especially for young children. It is the night of Halloween. The name comes from “All Hallows Eve” .The word ‘hallow’ means ‘holy, saint‘ and ‘eve’ means ‘the day or night before an important day’ so it is the day before 1^st November.

               

  Before Christianity, the first of November (All Saints’ Day) was the first day of the year. At this time, many people believed that bad spirits of the dead revisited their homes. They also believed that other evil spirits like witches and demons were free, too. For this reason they were scared and stayed at home.

	However, nowadays it is a different story. Today children have lots of fun on Halloween. They dress up as witches, devils, black cats, skeletons, vampires or other scary characters.
	With the help of their parents, children make lanterns out of pumpkins (also called jack o’ lanterns)

To make a pumpkin lantern you cut out the insides and then cut out two eyes, a nose and a mouth in one side

of the pumpkin. Next, you put a candle inside the pumpkin and light it. Now you have a jack o’ lantern; you can make the faces as frightening as you like!

           

Small groups of children dressed up as witches, black cats, etc go into the street and knock on people’s doors. When a person opens the door, the children say “Trick or Treat?” Most people usually say “Treat” and give the children some sweets or small change (some money). However, if someone says “Trick”, then the children do something bad, for example, they put dirty water on the windows or car, ring the doorbell and run away, repeatedly knock on the window or throw flour on the floor... Water guns are very popular, too.

       

            After spending the night Trick-or-Treating, the children go back home to eat the sweets. Sometimes, groups of friends have parties, where they eat food in the form of Halloween shapes, and play Halloween games. One game is called “Bobbing for Apples”. In this game you have to pick up an apple with your mouth from a bowl of water, with your hands behind your back (you can’t use your hands!). It’s very difficult and you get a wet face but you have a great time!

Keep Fit (extra reading)

In Unit 1 you are going to learn vocabulary about the parts of the human body as well as adjectives of description so it could be a good idea to read about some tips to keep you healthy as a teenager:

Being Fit

Being fit is a way of saying a person eats well, gets a lot of physical activity (exercise), and has a healthy weight. If you're fit, your body works well, feels good, and can do all the things you want to do, like run around with your friends.

Eat a Variety of Foods      

You may have a favorite food, but the best choice is to eat a variety. If you eat different foods, you  get the nutrients your body needs.  Some foods, such as green veggies, are more pleasing the older you get. Eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day — two fruits and three vegetables.

Drink Water & Milk    

When you're really thirsty, cold water is the best thirst-quencher . Kids need calcium to build strong bones, and milk is a great source of this mineral. How much do kids need? If you are younger than 9 years old, drink 2 cups of milk a day, or its equivalent. If you're older than 9 years old, aim for 3 cups of milk per day, or its equivalent. You can mix it up by having milk and some other calcium-rich dairy foods.

Listen to Your Body  

 What does it feel like to be full? When you're eating, notice how your body feels and when your stomach feels comfortably full. Sometimes, people eat too much because they don't notice when they need to stop eating. Eating too much can make you feel uncomfortable and, over a period of time, can lead to unhealthy weight gain.

Limit Screen Time      

What's screen time? It's the amount of time you spend watching TV or DVDs, playing video games , and using a smart phone, tablet, or computer. The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time available for active activities, like basketball, bike riding, and swimming. Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time, not counting computer use related to school and educational activities.

Be Active    

One job you have as a kid — and it's a fun one — is that you get to figure out which activities you like best. Not everyone loves baseball or soccer. Maybe your passion is karate, or kickball, or dancing. Ask your parents to help you do your favorite activities regularly. Find ways to be active every day.
