In Spain gifts are given on January 6th on the Feast of the Three Kings.

In Germany it is known as "Zweite Feiertag” (which means 'second celebration').

In Denmark for the Christmas Eve a sweet rice is being served with the cinna-mon and roasted goose with apples. Blancmange is a traditional dish with the rice in which the housewife is hiding the almond. Who will find him, the one is catching mumps of marzipan which is ensuring happiness all through the year.

Franklin appears in GASP!!!/BY WIKTOR ŁOBODA/

IN CLASSROOM 25 THERE IS A NEW PET. HIS (OR HER) NAME IS FRANKLIN!

Facts:Franklin is a Greek turtle.It is overland turtle, so it needs dry land to survive.It has its own pool.It needs UV and heating lamps to grow.I am writing “It”, because we still don’t know what gender it is.

The Greek turtles are herbivorous. Only accidentally can eat, for exam-ple, a small invertebrate with plants. The diet of this reptile should be as close as possible to the way it is eaten in nature, that is, it should be rich in fiber and calcium, and low in protein, sugar and fats. At home, it eats most of the meadow plants, as an occasional additive can be served on a grated carrot. You should not serve fruits. Some vegetables are often diuretic, and some of them like lettuce, spinach, rhubarb, cabbage - contain health-threat-ening turtle oxalate.

Heating lamp

overland -lądowy invertebrate - bezkręgowiec

gender - płeć heating lamp – lampa grzewcza

herbivorous – roślinożerny diuretic - moczopędny
