LET´S PLAY TRICKS AT SCHOOL.

 April Fools’ Day is celebrated all around the world on April 1st of every year.

The history of April Fools´ Day only goes back to the 16th century when the “New Year” celebration was moved from April 1st to January 1st. Some people didn´t hear about this  change for  many years and other ignored it, so they continued  to celebrate  as they had always. They were called “FOOLS”.

April Fools´ Day celébrase en todo o mundo o 1 de abril. As orixes deste día remóntanse ao século XVI cando a celebración do Ano Novo pasou do 1 de abril ao 1 de xaneiro. Moita xente non escoitara este cambio e, outra ignorouno, e seguiron a festexar o Ano Novo o 1 de abril. A estas persoas chamáronas “Fools”.

In the 1500´s , some people started playing tricks on the “fools”. . At that time, the servants were masters for one day of the year. They gave orders to their masters, and their masters had to obey. Now, April Fool´s Day is different.  It´s  a day for jokes and tricks.

 Na Idade Media, algunha xente comezou a gastar bromas aos “fools”. Por aquel entonces, os criados convertíanse en amos por un día ao ano. Daban ordes e os amos tiñan que obedecelas. Hoxe en día, April Fool´s Day é diferente. É un día para chistes e bromas.
