BACK TO SCHOOL WORDSEARCH

In Britain, the new school year started at the beginning of September but here in Sicily the summer is longer and pupils went back to school last Friday.  In Italy, the school year has two terms, whereas in Britain we have three.

Pupils in most secondary schools and some primary schools in Britain wear a uniform and they may have the school crest or badge on their jumper, sweatshirt or blazer. Pupils usually have a school lunch or take a packed lunch to school with them. The school day in Britain finishes between 3 and 4 pm.

In British state schools the school is responsible for providing textbooks and exercise books.  Textbooks are  increasingly available in digital versions.

See if you can find the hidden words in our BACK TO SCHOOL wordsearch:

FOR LITTLE STARS EVERYWHERE

It's St Lawrence's Night and in Italy, we are all going to be outside looking for shooting stars later!

Here is a traditional nursey rhyme for "little stars" everywhere:

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

And whether you're three or 103 years old, if you see a shooting star, don't forget to make a wish, because.....
