Did you know that…?

In ancient times, people didn’t live long, because life was very hard in the past. In ancient Egypt, most people lived to be 30 years old.

Ancient Egyptians didn’t use to eat with forks.They sometimes used spoons and knives,but they mainly ate with their hands.

There were cosmetics about 5000 years ago.In ancient Egypt women, men and children wore make-up because it was very important to look beautiful. Eye make-up was very popular and green and black were two of  their favourite colours.Some make-up in the past was poisonous.

In ancient Egypt cats were very special animals. Egyptians loved cats and they used to think that it was a crime to kill a cat!  Egyptians also used to make cat mummies!

What do you believe about ancient Egypt?

Jamie is a famous british TV chef.  He has traveled all over the world, showing and trying new recipies.

He has written many cookery books. Some of them are ”30-minute meals”, ”Jamie’s America”, ”Jamie at home” e.t.c.

He even has his own resturants in the UK!

His recipies have been a big success all over the world, in Europe, America, even Asia.

He is known with the nickname ”The Naked Chef” because, like he said, he likes to “strip” the complicated recipies to make them easy and simple.

<<If there weren’t lemons and chilli peppers in cooking, I would have quit>>, he said once.

You can check his website for more information.

I recommend you to buy his books, his recipies are delicious and easy to cook!

Pancake Day began in the 15th century in England. The custom began as follows:
A woman was cooking pancakes when she heard the church bell  ringing. To catch the Service she left her house with her apron on, her scarf and the pan with  the pancake in her hand! In order not to burn the pancake she tossed it three times until she got to the church.

The custom is one day before Lent.The British fry pancakes because people can’t eat dairy products  during Lent.Women usually participate, they wear: an apron, a scarf and hold a pan with the pancake in their hand. The most famous pancake race takes place at Olney.

Hello! We are the 6th class of the  1st Primary School of Akrata and we’re writing about an event that happened in our school on Friday, 24th February.

On Friday morning we had to have ingredients to cook  pancakes because on 21th it was Shrove Tuesday-Pancake Day in England . Then we read Miss L’s recipe  and we prepared the batter.

Two mothers of our classmates ( Mrs Mary and Mrs Vessie ) helped us to cook the batters that we made. Three children of our class made the awards for the winner classes ( spatulas ). Then we prepared a theatrical play to present the  custom of  Pancake Race to our school .

When we finished the script, we prepared the stage and we invited the other classes and the kindergarten to  see our performance (Our Pancake theatrical play ).

Then, we began the race . At first, all classes raced.

The funniest moment was ”The teachers’ race”. We laughed very much!!!

We are so excited because we made the children and the teachers to have fun !!!

This theatrical play presents Shrove Tuesday. We wrote it on February 24th because we wanted to show the children of our school what is Shrove Tuesday.

Αφηγητής 1 : Τον 15ο αιώνα στην Αγγλία μια μέρα πριν τη Σαρακοστή μία νοικοκυρά καθώς έφτιαχνε τηγανίτες άκουσε την καμπάνα της εκκλησίας να χτυπάει.
Αφηγητής 2: Για να μην χάσει τη λειτουργία, αφηρημένη με τη ποδιά , το σκούφο και στο χέρι το τηγάνι με τη τηγανίτα πήγε στην εκκλησία.
Αφηγητής 1 : Από τότε καθιερώθηκε το έθιμο της τηγανίτας. Όσοι θέλουν μπορούν να πάρουν μέρος την << Ημέρα της Τηγανίτας>>.
Αφηγητής 2 : Όσοι παίρνουν μέρος, ξεκινούν από ένα καθορισμένο σημείο και προσπαθούν να φτάσουν στην εκκλησία και να πετάξουν τρεις φορές την τηγανίτα στον αέρα και να την ξαναπιάσουν. Όποιος το κάνει πρώτος κερδίζει.

We played it and presented to the children of our school and the children of the nursery school.The roles were:

The housewife- Ntaiz

People- Original, Betty Boo, Robin, Twitte and Baboulas

The priest- Bobhras

The narrators- FBI and the key

The other children liked it and clapped us.
In our opinion this day was wonderful because we ate a lot of pancakes!!!!
