HALLOWEEN

Halloween History

Halloween is on October 31st, the last day of the Celtic calendar. It was originally a pagan holiday, honoring the dead. Halloween was referred to as All Hallows Eve and dates back to over 2000 years ago.

Jack on lantern (Pumpkin lantern) history

In Ireland, where Halloween began, the first jack-o’-lanterns weren’t made of pumpkins. They were made out of rutabagas, potatoes, turnips, or even beets! There is an old Irish legend about a man named Stingy Jack who was too mean to get into heaven and had played too many tricks on the devil to go to hell. When he died, he had to walk the earth, carrying a lantern made out of a turnip with a burning coal inside. Stingy Jack became known as “Jack of the Lantern,” or “Jack-o’-Lantern.”

This delicious dessert was made by AYMAN another Primary 5th boy.

It's very different from the other cakes. It's made of biscuits, chocolate and flan. Ayman did a very good explanation of how to do it.

COOKS

In Primary 5th we have great cooks. I'm a very lucky teacher because I can taste almost every day a piece of cake made by my pupils.
