Notting Hill Carnival

The Londoners celebrate Carnival too ... but only in August! Every year crowds of people come together in the Notting Hill streets for two days of parades, dancing, food and plenty of festival fun. Notting Hill Carnival is London's most famous street party. The first day of the carnival (Sunday) is Children’s Day. Children and family groups are encouraged to join the party and participate in special competitions. The second day (Monday) is a bank holiday (=feriado) and people dance to the sounds of hip-hop beats, reggae and modern dance hits in a colourful parade.

Cool Britain: British kids have fun in the snow!

It’s snowing in Britain! London has 17cm of snow! For London kids it’s a big surprise! It doesn’t normally snow in London.

But snow can be a problem, too! Because of the snow, 6000 schools can’t open. With no school, kids can build snowmen, throw snowballs and go sledging.
“It’s like another country. We don’t have this much snow in London!” says Rebekah, a girl from England.

Do you usually have snow in your country?
What do you do when it snows?
