Thanksgiving is celebrated on the 4th Thursday of November.
American people do not have school or work from Wednesday to Monday.
American people have a huge feast. They eat turkey, pumpkin pie, gravy, mashed potatoes,stuffing, cranberries and corn.
After the feast, they watch or play American football.
American people who cannot be with their families celebrate “FRIENDSGIVING” instead of Thanksgiving.
On Thanksgiving American people talk about what THEY ARE THANKFUL FOR.
Artur
I’ve always enjoyed playing computer games and I’d like to make them when I’m older.
My cousin works in IT and makes cartoons and games so I asked him if I could go to work with him.
I learned so much including how to draw a simple cartoon.
But it was really tiring – all I wanted to do was relax at the end of the day, not play computer games!
Mika
I love sport the most and want to teach it when I’m older.
I’m good at basketball, but I need to work harder in rugby lessons so I can teach different sports.
After school, I want to go to college and study sports science.
After that, I want to help with after-school clubs and lessons.
My uncle is a teacher so I plan to ask him if I can give drinks to the players at the American football club
next week.
Henri
I play a lot of musical instruments including the piano and guitar and would love to have a career in music.
Last year, I received a prize for the best young musician in my town.
I want to study music at university.
I probably won’t get work as a musician after school so I might have to get a job in a café or restaurant first.
My dream is to be paid to play in a group and travel around the world.

We created our own colourful ghosts. We are artists!!
