Hello again, everyone! Next week is the chorus contest, I hope you’re all ready for it.
This week in the ALT Report, I want to talk about Halloween; a special day we celebrate in North America. Halloween (sometimes spelled Hallowe’en) is celebrated on October 31, and here are some traditions we have for this special day.
Carving pumpkins
Carved pumpkins, called Jack-o’-lanterns, are a famous Halloween tradition. Some Jack-o’-lanterns are very impressive. You cut the top off the pumpkin, take out the insides, cut out a “face” and put a candle inside.
Pumpkin pie
Carved pumpkins aren’t the only Halloween pumpkin tradition. Pumpkin pie is a delicious pie made with pumpkin. It is delicious plain or with ice cream.
Trick-or-treating
On Halloween night, children put on costumes and go “trick-or-treating.” What this means is they knock on a door or ring a doorbell, say “trick or treat” and get candy.
Watching scary movies
The last Halloween tradition is my favorite. On Halloween, it is a tradition to watch scary movies. Movies with ghosts and monsters are great for Halloween. I like movies with zombies best, like Night of the Living Dead.
This has been the ALT Report, thank you for reading and come back next week for more.
