Pancake Day - 16th February 2021

 PANCAKE DAY - 16th February 2021


Pancake Day is celebrated the day before Ash Wednesday. In other countries, it is called Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras, translated from French, is 'Fat Tuesday', which refers to the last night of eating richer and fatty foods such as chocolate, butter, and sugar before fasting for Lent.

El Dia de les Creps se celebra el dia abans del Dimecres de Cendra. En altres països, s’anomena Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras, traduït del francès, és el "dimarts gras", que fa referència a l'última nit de menjar aliments més rics i grassos com la xocolata, la mantega i el sucre abans de dejunar per la Quaresma.



In the past, it was traditional for many societies to eat pancakes and other food made with butter, eggs, and flour, which would have been given up during the Lenten season. This has been a tradition in the UK since the 16th century.

En el passat, era tradicional per a moltes societats menjar creps i altres aliments fets amb mantega, ous i farina, que s’haurien abandonat durant la temporada de Quaresma. Aquesta és una tradició al Regne Unit des del segle XVI.

Animal Project - Jellyfish (Megan's example)

Image
Despite their name, jellyfish are not fish - they are invertebrates (animals with no backbones). They have stinging cells in their tentacles, which paralyse their prey before eating them.  Jellyfish live in oceans and float in the water. The size of jellyfish can range from 2 centimetres to 7 feet. Jellyfish are 98% water. They eat other sea animals and algae. Types of jellyfish include Box Jellyfish, Deep-Sea Jellyfish, Irukandji Jellyfish, and Moon  Jellyfish. A group of jellyfish is called a smack. Some jellyfish are clear whilst others are blue, yellow, pink, and purple. Additionally, jellyfish can be bioluminescent, which means that they can produce their own light. Jellyfish have no bones, brain, or heart.  Their body is controlled by a nervous system.
