May 2014 is HAMBURGER MONTH!


Where’s the beef? There’s plenty of it around all through Hamburger Month, along with buns, cheese, fries and pickles! While many other popular menu choices have a special day devoted to them, this fast food favourite gets a whole month of celebration.

Nobody seems to be certain when this meaty month was first launched. However, it is sponsored by White Castle, the oldest hamburger chain in the US, and supported by other chains and independent burger bars. All kinds of special events are organised each year to mark the occasion, including burger tastings, food festivals, giveaways and even a burger battle between rival chefs in Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale.

The perfect way to celebrate Burger Month, though, is to throw your own party. There are many sizzling burger recipes to choose from, including healthy choices like turkey or veggie burgers as well as the classic beef version, so get grilling now.




IF YOU WANT YOU CAN...

...dress like one!
...sleep!








...rest!

                                                        ...ride!





...or even change your make-up this month or wear a hat!

Winston Churchill Day - 9th April





On April 9th in 1963, Winston Churchill became the second person to become an Honorary Citizen of the United States, although this was the first time Congress had resolved that it was to be bestowed by the President of the United States, on a foreign national – he was granted citizenship of eight individual states as a prelude :- Hawaii, Maryland, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia. 
Winston Churchill Day commemorates this event.
This honour was bestowed upon him by the 35th President of the United States – John F Kennedy, although Churchill was not present himself at the ceremony, his son and grandson were there for him. It had been hoped Churchill would not only witness the event on television – which he did with his wife – but would be able to respond. Problems with a relay station in Cornwall prevented this.

April Fool's Day

April Fool's Day

Mackenzie put a whoopie cushion
on the teacher's chair.
Makayla told the teacher that a bug was in her hair.
Alyssa brought an apple
with a purple gummy worm
and gave it to the teacher
just to see if she would squirm.

Elijah left a piece of plastic
dog doo on the floor,
and Vincent put some plastic vomit in the teacher's drawer.               
Amanda put a goldfish
in the teacher's drinking glass.
These April Fool's Day pranks
are ones that you could use in class.

Before you go and try them, though,there's something I should mention:
The teacher wasn't fooling
when she put us in detention.


--Kenn Nesbitt

Friday, 28th March will be ... Something On a Stick Day!

No, I'm not talking about mops or brooms (although I'm very thankful for them, of course!) but Something On A Stick Day is all about celebrating foods we love to eat – that just happen to come on a stick!
Who doesn’t love relaxed finger food that you can pick up by the stick and eat? So whether it’s a toffee apple, camp-fire sausage, cheese cubes on a toothpick, ice cream bar, lollipop or other lovely treats, feel free to indulge in them on this day! Or why not try the favourite American food on a stick if you can – the famous corn dog?
What about planning an entire meal of a starter, main course and dessert all on sticks? Easy, informal, and fun – and very little cleaning up to do afterwards! What a great theme for a dinner party to have on Something on a Stick Day!
