October at Newlands means... reaching the end,
parents to call, examinations to design, the school sports and sometimes the
science fair. But the thing I enjoy the most is HALLOWE'EN!!!
What
is Halloween?
Halloween is a secular holiday combining vestiges
of traditionalharvest festival celebrations with customs more peculiar to
the occasion such as costume wearing, trick-or-treating, and decorative
imagery based on seasonal change, death, and the supernatural. It takes place
on October 31.
What does the name 'Halloween' mean?
The name Halloween is
a contraction of All Hallows Even, meaning the day before All Hallows Day
(better known as All Saints Day), a Catholic holiday commemorating
Christian saints and martyrs observed since the early Middle Ages on November
1.
So, this year we are celebrating Hallowe’en
again…..
don’t
come to complain!!
