On Wednesday we were learning what makes hallowe’en today.The celts started doing something called Samhain. Their traditions were to have a big bonfire to ward of the evil spirits and welcomed the good spirits they used to do docking for apples just like today.
Hallowe’en is over 2000 years old. In the U.K. the celts started it all in 600bc to 50 ad. In 43 ad the Romans invaded and two Roman festivals came to be celebrated at the same time as the celts. The first festival was called Feralia a day when Romans commemorated the passing of the dead.
We had to read a very long passage and highlight the important information. We were only meant to highlight key words. We then had to make a poster using the information.
This was good.I made a poster sized comic strip about it.
