This day is „All Hallows Eve“ in the Catholic calendar and „Halloween“ is a derivation of this name. The origins of Halloween go back to the 5th century BC in Celtic Ireland, when summer officially ended on 31st October. On that day, spirits of the dead were believed to come back to earth, looking for living bodies to possess for the following year. People were afraid of these spirits, so they dressed up in scary costumes to frighten them away. Over time, people stopped believing in evil spirits but kept up the Halloween rituals. Halloween was brought to America by Irish immigrants. Today, Halloween is more extensively celebrated in the USA than in Britain. Before Halloween people buy pumpkins. They cut faces, put candles inside and so the pumpkin becomes a ghost. Eva - 3 - Hamster Halloween party at school We celebrated Halloween at HANNAH School on 1st November. Most of the students came in costumes. There was a competition for the best mask. Competitors We met at 9 o’clock at school where a spooky atmosphere was – lit up candles and spooky music were everywhere. There were pumpkins with lit up faces. Teachers looked like witches because they had big noses and big hats. - 4 - Hamster Three witches The students of all three classes met in the school hall and the teachers started the Halloween competition. In empty classes there were sheets of paper with numbers and students had to go to the sheets. On the sheets there were some tasks, for example: every team had to write a sentence and other teams had to write other sentences and a story originated in the end or we had to complete missing words or crosswords. When we finished the tasks, we had a break. And after the break the teachers said the results of the Halloween competition. And who won it? The competition was won by the team „Skeletons“. They - 5 - Hamster won a bag with sweets. Congratulations ! And we look forward to a Christmas party. The winning team: The Skeletons Eva - 6 - Hamster Interview with Katka Černá 1) How did the idea to start a magazine originate? I wanted the students to do something more creative than just the usual school stuff. 2) How long have you been teaching at this school? This is my fourth school year here. 3) How did you get this job? I had a regular job interview with the school director. 4) What do you like and dislike about this work? I find my work interesting because every day is little bit different. I enjoy working with people, I love English and my job is the perfect combination of these two things. But like anybody else I have my days when I would just like to be on my own and not communicate at all :) 5) Do you have any advice for students how to improve their English besides learning it at school? Definitely. A school should just give students the confidence to use the language in the real life. I would suggest making use of any opportunity, no matter if it is chatting with native speakers in the pub, watching a film in English, listening to music or reading an English book, just anything that you enjoy doing in your free time. And if you have a chance to travel, go for it!
