On the first day of April, we celebrate April Fool’s Day. Children tell jokes and play pranks on others, but be careful – if you fool someone after midday, 12 o’clock, it’s you who becomes the fool!
Here are some English jokes I loved to tell my friends at school:
What do cows do at the weekend?
They go to the moo-vies!
What do spiders do on the computer?
They surf the web!
A patient is at the doctor’s office.
Patient: Doctor, Doctor, help me! I think I’m invisible!
Doctor: Next patient, please!
What fish only swims at night?
A starfish!
Why is 6 afraid of 7?
Because 7 8 9! (7 ate 9)

It is always on a Tuesday in February or March. It is the day before Ash Wednesday: the start of Lent.
Lent is a period of 40 days before Easter. During Lent, people often stop eating things that are bad for them like chocolate or fast food.
What is Pancake Day?
It is also called Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Tuesday. It is the day before Lent when people eat foods that are rich, sugary or fatty before the fasting period begins. It is most common to eat pancakes.
Why do people eat pancakes?
Traditionally, pancakes were made to use up all the eggs, milk and sugar before Lent.
Listen to this little song! It is called Mix A Pancake!

In Scotland, we celebrate our national day on the 30th of November – Saint Andrew’s Day!
Legends tell us that Saint Andrew created the Scottish flag – a white cross on a blue background. The blue background represents the sky, and the white cross is the clouds.
Saint Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland, but Saint Andrew’s Day is not a religious celebration. It’s a day where we celebrate Scottish culture, food, music, clothes and any other Scottish thing you can think of!
On the 30th of November, lots of men wear kilts. It’s a tradition!
We eat a traditional Scottish dinner with the family – haggis, neeps and tatties. Neeps is a Scottish word for turnip and tatties are potatoes.
And then we go to a cèilidh, a traditional party where we sing, dance, and listen to Scottish folk music.
It’s lots of fun! Happy Saint Andrew’s Day, everyone!
