Nearly 400 years ago, the first thanksgiving
dinner was celebrated. The Pilgrims, who emigrated from England searching for a
better life, wanted to thank the American Natives for helping them learn how to
grow food and hunt for meat. It was a celebration of gratitude for what they
had and friendship too.
Today, it is celebrated in the United States on the
fourth Thursday of November. Families and friends gather together for a special
meal which traditionally includes:
turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie and vegetables.
Why don’t we practise countable and uncountable
