International Book Day

The International Day of the Book is celebrated on 23rd April, because it´s the date when two very important writers died in 1.616: The famous spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes, who wrote "El Quijote" and the famous British writer William Shakespeare who wrote "Romeo and Juliet".

April Fools Day- April 1st

April begins with a day of fun and jokes: April´s Fool Day. No one really knows when this custom began but it has been kept for hundreds of years.
You can only play April Fool jokes before midday.
A very famous joke in Britain was in 1957 when a TV programme made a documentary about a family who cultivated spaghetti trees!   Many people believed it and phoned to ask for the tree.

Charles Dickens

 He is a very famous english writter. He was born in Porstmouth, in 1812. When he was young he lived in London.

His father went to jail because he had some debts, so he had to start working when he was twelve years old.
He worked as a journalist in The Mirror of Parliament and in The Morning Chronicle.
Some of his most important novels are David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, Hard Times and Great Expectations.
This is a video about his life.




 And now, let see the most famous scene of Oliver Twist (it's easy to understand, try!):

Recycling

You can recycle your old tins to make a pencilholder. You will need:
A tin, glue, water, paintbrushes, posterpaint and paper towel.

First, cover the tin with the paper towel, and use a paintbrush to extend the mix formed by glue and water on the surface.

Let the tin get dry, and then, paint with posterpaint.

And this is the final result.
