Why were turkeys named after Turkey?

2011-11-28T04:11:00.000-08:00

Have you ever wondered why turkeys (the birds) were named after an Asian country (Turkey?). Turkeys were originally American birds. When Europeans "discovered" America merchants soon started selling these new birds to England and other countries. Turkish merchants sold the new big birds to the British. Back then (in the XVIII century) the British called anything that the asian merchants sold them "Turkey". So they had turkey bags and turkey rugs (even though they were Persian). The bird was named "Turkey chicken" and later, just Turkey.

AN E-MAIL FROM OUR E-PALS

2011-06-06T14:00:00.000-07:00

Hello dear friends!
we hope that you all are fine!
A month ago we had a "dance week" and we tried different dances. It was very fun!
Some weeks ago we went to a concert in Jönköping. Elina and Sara Inglander participated. They both played the cello. After the concert we went to a park and had a fun time. We went back to school by bus. Suddenly the bus stopped and we all had to leave the bus because the bus had started to burn! Both firemen and policemen arrived. It all ended happily.
No one got hurt and a new bus arrived and brought us back to school. Afterwards we could read about it in the newspapers and watch it on the news on TV!
On Friday we are going for summerholiday! We look forward to keep in touch after the summer.
Our best regards,
4AB Stensholmsskolan

Fairy tales and traditional stories start like this.
Click on these pictures and you'll find three of them:"Goldilocks and the three bears", "Jack and the beanstalk" and "Little Red Riding Hood".

There is a wide variety of stories: fairy tales, traditional stories, fables, legends, myths, modern stories... Listening to or reading them develops fantasy and imagination. It’s a motivating way to learn; not only language but positive attitudes, knowledge and critical thinking skills.

In every classroom we’ve got an English class library with plenty of storybooks.

Let’s enjoy listening to and reading them!
