Class EM Share Afternoon

Class EM took 'Thanksgiving' as the theme for their SHARE session with parents. See below for an explanation of Thanksgiving. The children & parents took part in a wide range of activities: Autumn Leaf Turkey, Salad cornucopia, Totem poles, Thankful Turkeys, Turkey Maze, Dream catchers, Thanksgiving paper hands, Chocolate Pilgrim Hats.







Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada. Traditionally, it has been a time to give thanks for a bountiful harvest. While it may have been religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday. It is sometimes casually referred to as Turkey Day.


In Canada, Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on the second Monday in October.

In the United States, it falls on the fourth Thursday of November.
