ENGLISH. HOW TO MAKE PANCAKES.
What is Shrove Tuesday?
Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday. The name Shrove comes from the old middle English word 'Shriven' meaning to go to confession to say sorry for the wrong things you've done.
Lent always starts on a Wednesday, so people went to confessions on the day before. This became known as Shriven Tuesday and then Shrove Tuesday.
The other name for this day, Pancake Day, comes from the old English custom of using up all the fattening ingredients in the house before Lent so that people were ready to fast during Lent. The fattening ingredients that most people had in their houses in those days were eggs and milk. A very simple recipe to use up these ingredients was to combine them with some flour and make pancakes.
The custom of making pancakes still continues today, and in many U.K. towns and villages pancake races (where people race with a frying pan while tossing a pancake in it!) and pancake tossing competitions are held on Shrove Tuesday.
In other countries, Shrove Tuesday is known as 'Mardi Gras'. This means 'Fat Tuesday' in French and also comes from the idea of using up food before Lent.
Many countries around the world have Mardi Gras celebrations and carnivals. Some of the most famous are Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, New Orleans in the U.S.A., Venice in Italy and Sydney in Australia
When is Pancake Day or Shrove Tuesday?
Pancake Day takes place 47 days before Easter Sunday. Because the date of Easter Sunday is dictated by the cycles of the moon, Pancake Day can occur anytime between February 3 and March 9. This year's batter action takes place on Tuesday, February 28th 2022.

ENGLISH. SONG: WALKING IN THE JUNGLE.
WALKING IN THE JUNGLE.
Walking in the jungle
Walking in the jungle
We're not afraid
We're not afraid
One step, two steps, three steps forward
One step, two steps, three steps back
Stop! Listen!
What's that?
It's a frog
We're not afraid
Let's stomp!
Stomping in the jungle
Stomping in the jungle
We're not afraid
We're not afraid
One step, two steps, three steps forward
One step, two steps, three steps back
Stop! Listen!
What's that?
It's a monkey
We're not afraid
Let's jump!
Jumping in the jungle
Jumping in the jungle
We're not afraid
We're not afraid
One step, two steps, three steps forward
One step, two steps, three steps back
Stop! Listen!
What's that?
It's a toucan
We're not afraid
Let's skip!
Skipping in the jungle
Skipping in the jungle
We're not afraid
We're not afraid
One step, two steps, three steps forward
One step, two steps, three steps back
Stop! Listen!
What's that?
It's a tiger
Run
Here's a song about a place
That's threatened by the human race
Want to let you know, want to let you know
Tropical rain falls on tropical trees
The tropical rain forest won't you please
Help us save it now, help us save it now
Chorus:
Ooh, it gives us air to breathe
Ooh, the animals call it home
Ooh, its medicines help you and me
Ooh, help us save it before it's gone
They burn and cut it down to farm
But we all know it's doing harm
To the animals, there's no place to go
Monkey's rush from tree to tree
Calling out for their family
Fire's coming now, must escape somehow
Chorus
All the birds in all the trees
Every insect and every leaf
Is important, too, here's what we must do
Tell everybody that it's not okay
To let the forests just burn away
Got to say it loud, got to say it proud!
Chorus
ENGLISH. IN THE RAINFOREST : A POEM.
Living in the jungle is a wonderful thing
Hear the lions roar,
See chimpanzees swing,
Slithering boas coil around a tree,
Boy am I glad they don't follow me!
It's so hot in the jungle,
But morning time brings pouring rain.
I'm impatient, I just can't wait,
Until the sun comes shining again!
Jungle Fever!
I've got
Jungle Fever!
Living in the jungle is such a blast,
Feel the earth move when elephants pass.
Crocodiles and hippos bathe in the sun,
Don't they look like they're having fun?
Feel the heat of the jungle,
Clap your hands and sing this song.
It's a party, let's have some fun,
So jump right in and join along.
Jungle Fever!
I've got
Jungle Fever!
