FEBRUARY 2023

Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday, is a special day celebrated in many countries around the world. It is celebrated in English-speaking countries like the UK, Ireland, Australia, and Canada. In France, the USA, and other countries, it is called 'Mardi Gras' or 'Fat Tuesday'. In others like Spain, Italy or Brazil, Shrove Tuesday is at the end of Carnival. On this day many people eat pancakes: thin, flat cakes made in a pan. Pancake Day 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 when people often give up or stop eating things that are bad for them like chocolate or fast food. At the end of Lent is Easter. Easter takes place on a different date each year because it depends on the moon. Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring. Traditionally, during Lent, people didn’t eat rich foods like butter and eggs, so to use them up they made pancakes from these ingredients on Shrove Tuesday. Another tradition on Pancake Day in the UK is pancake racing. People run in a race with a pancake in a pan. As they run, they have to toss the pancake (throw the pancake in the air and catch it in the pan) several times. In some pancake races, people dress up in fancy dress costumes. The most famous pancake race takes place in a town called Olney, in the middle of England. People say that Olney has been celebrating pancake races since 1445!

The pancake has a very long history and featured in cookery books as far back as 1439. The tradition of tossing or flipping them is almost as old: “And every man and maide doe take their turne, And tosse their Pancakes up for feare they burne.” (Pasquil’s Palin, 1619). The ingredients for pancakes can be seen to symbolize four points of significance at this time of year: Eggs ~ Creation Flour ~ The staff of life Salt ~ Wholesomeness Milk ~ Purity

The Italian word&nbsp;carnevale&nbsp;probably derives from the Latin expression&nbsp;carnem&nbsp;levare&nbsp;(meaning "to remove meat"): In many Christian societies, Carnival is the long celebratory period after Epiphany, as people prepare to give up meat and other luxuries for Lent.

INGREDIENTS for 0 people&nbsp; 500 g all-purpose flour 40 g confectioners sugar 2 egg 45 g butter 100 ml milk 1 tbsp of Grappa 1 pinch of salt 1 pinch of baking soda vanilla powder (or vanilla extract) frying oil To garnish 1 tbsp of sugar Preparation Pour out the flour onto a flat work surface. Make a hole in the center and add the other ingredients in the center, except for the milk. Gradually add the milk as you begin to knead the dough. &nbsp; Using your hands or an electric mixer, knead the dough until it is smooth, then cover in plastic wrap and let rest for 15 minutes. &nbsp; Then, divide the dough into pieces and roll out the dough until 1/10 inch using a rolling pin or pasta machine. Use a knife or pasta cutter to cut out diamonds or whatever shape you prefer. &nbsp; Fry the dough in boiling oil. The dough should be completely submerged in the oil for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Once golden, remove the fritters using a slotted spoon and place them on parchment paper. &nbsp; Dust the fritters with powdered sugar. The&nbsp;chiacchiere&nbsp;can be served immediately or stored for a couple of days.

7th FEBRUARY 2023 SAFER INTERNET DAY

Safer Internet Day is in February every year. On this day, people in around 170 countries take part in activities to try to make the internet a safer place for children and young people.&nbsp; Safer Internet Day celebrates all the great things about being online. We can use the internet to learn new things, video call family members who live far away, chat with friends, listen to music, watch videos, and play games.&nbsp; But there can also be dangers when we are online, and Safer Internet Day helps us learn about these dangers and what to do to stay safe. Cyberbullying, or online bullying, is when someone uses the internet to make another person feel bad, often with nasty messages on messaging apps or social media. Online bullying can happen in games too when players post unkind messages in the chat box. It's really important to tell an adult if you ever see any bullying.&nbsp; What happens on Safer Internet Day? On Safer Internet Day in the UK, children do activities at school, at home, in youth groups, and in other places. They do quizzes and worksheets, read stories, watch films, make posters, and have discussions about how to stay safe online.&nbsp;

What's cyberbullying? Cyberbullying is bullying with the use of digital technologies. It can take place on social media, messaging platforms, gaming platforms, and mobile phones. It is repeated behaviour, aimed at scaring, angering, or shaming those who are targeted. Examples include: spreading lies about or posting embarrassing photos or videos of someone on social media ; sending hurtful, abusive, or threatening messages, images, or videos via messaging platforms; impersonating someone and sending mean messages to others on their behalf or through fake accounts.

Method Fill one cup with flour and put into a bowl. Fill another cup with milk and pour into the bowl. Crack the egg into the bowl and whisk the flour, milk and egg until the mixture is smooth. Put a very small amount of butter or oil in a pan, and when it is hot, put some mixture in the pan and move the pan to make a thin pancake. After one minute hold the pan carefully and throw or toss the pancake in the air to turn it over. Now cook the pancake on the other side. When the pancake is ready, squeeze some lemon juice and put some sugar on it and eat it immediately. If you don’t like lemon juice, eat them with jam, chocolate sauce or ice cream. Mmm, delicious!

Ingredients: 1. One cup of flour 2. One cup of milk 3. One large egg 4. Some salt 5. Some butter or oil 6. Lemon juice 7. Some sugar

It's carnival time! Singing, dancing and&nbsp;dressing-up.&nbsp;We do all of these things at Carnival in Italy. Lots of tourists visit Venice at carnival time. They like to see the elaborate masks and watch the&nbsp;locals&nbsp;walk along the canals. But people celebrate carnival in lots of countries. So where are the best carnivals in the world? Well, obviously, Italy, but Brazil, America and Trinidad and Tobago also organise famous street parties at this time of year. In Rio de Janeiro, people wear bright costumes with&nbsp;feathers&nbsp;in their hair and dance the samba; in New Orleans, the people on the&nbsp;floats&nbsp;throw&nbsp;beads&nbsp;to the watching crowds and in Trinidad and Tobago, they play&nbsp;steelpans&nbsp;to produce vibrant music that everyone dances to. One thing that all carnivals have in common is colour and noise and fun!

The Monday and Tuesday before Lent were periods of great festivity before the coming days of abstinence. Children would go ‘Shroving’ or ‘Lent-crocking’ on Shrove Tuesday (or the night before), knocking on their neighbours’ doors and singing: 'We be come a-shroving, For a piece of pancake, Or a bite of bacon, Or a little truckle of cheese Of your own making' Or on Collop Monday: 'Once, twice, thrice I give thee warning Please to make some pancakes ‘Gin tomorrow morning'

Bullying is repeated aggressive behaviour that is intended to hurt or upset someone physically or emotionally. Both kids who are bullied and who bullies others may have&nbsp;serious, lasting problems. To be bullying, the behavior must be aggressive and include: an imbalance of power:&nbsp;people who bully use their power, physical strength, access to embarrassing information, or popularity to control or harm others; Repetition:&nbsp;bullying behaviors usually happen more than once. There are three types of bullying: verbal bullying&nbsp;is saying or writing mean things; social bullying,&nbsp;sometimes referred to as relational bullying, involves hurting someone’s reputation or relationships; physical bullying&nbsp;involves hurting a person’s body or possessions.&nbsp;
