The great leader Mustafa Kemal ATATÜRK gave this festival for the children all around the World. This year is the 100th birthday of 23 April but we must stay at home because of the corona virus. For the 100th birthday, all the Turkish citizens will sing our national anthem. That day in the normal state of affairs there are a lot of big shows everywhere and these shows are really great and stirring. I want to join one of these shows. I saw them only in my school books. I wish to celebrate the 23rd of April but I can’t I’m upset about that. The 23rd of April is my favorite festival. So you must come and see the festival.
Thanks for reading this.

Not only because it is the first and only children’s festival, but it is also the day the Turkish Grand National Assembly was established which lead to the foundation of the Republic of Turkey. Children all around the world come to Turkey to show their traditional games etc. This is the festival of freedom, democracy, justice, equality and of course, children; our future. The celebration is based on traditional games and reading poems. People hang national flags. It’s an honor to participate. 
Thanks to Ataturk, we have a very different and meaningful festival.

In 1920 Ataturk founded the Turkish Grand National Assembly. Then he gave this day to all children in the world as a gift. Since that day every year on the 23rd of April, we celebrate this festival. On the 23rd of April, we all decorate our classes in the school and prepare shows. Then we sing songs, play dramas or dance. We spend our time with our family and friends. We dress in a special way. We have a lot of child visitors from other countries and they celebrate this festival too. They dance and sing songs like other Turkish children. On this day Turkish people usually visit the Turkish Grand National Assembly or Anıtkabir where Ataturk's grave is located. We carry Turkish flags and we put flowers to his tomb. This day is very special and important for Turkish people.

We made preparations for April 23rd all year but this year we will spend April 23rd in quarantine. I thought I should write a paragraph on this subject. I love April 23rd because I always enjoy but I don't know what to do right now.  On the 23rd of April, the songs are sung we dance and laugh.
April 23rd is the feast of the world and is very important because that is the first gift to the children from Ataturk, and those children and the Turkish nation is very important for the World.                                        Our Father (dear Ancestor) we are grateful to you and we will never forget you. 
Goodbye! ]]> 2020-04-21 12:32:39 UTC https://padlet.com/gamzece1985/2fxkg1mpukwu41zi/wish/520086489 gamzece1985 https://padlet.com/gamzece1985/2fxkg1mpukwu41zi/wish/520101787 National Sovereignty and Children’s Day is a gift from Ataturk to children. We celebrate this for three days. There is always a festival in this process but because of the pandemic, we won’t have a festival. We are so sad about this because the 23rd of April is an official holiday and it’s so fun.  Of course, freedom, democracy, and justice are more important than this. We are so lucky to have this day. I hope next year we will be able to go out to celebrate the festival and have fun. Everyone let’s hang our national flags!]]> 2020-04-21 12:38:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gamzece1985/2fxkg1mpukwu41zi/wish/520101787 gamzece1985 https://padlet.com/gamzece1985/2fxkg1mpukwu41zi/wish/520193646 April 23, at that time, the first parliamentary republic's newly established Turkey's Grand National Assembly.
 It is the opening date, but the holiday has another meaning for children. 
  A unique opportunity for children from all over the world to come together for several fun events.
  A festive mood is already in the air for the events that start for children at early hours of 23rd April day. 
  While festivals that specialize in kids' events are being launched, businesses offering discounts for toys and other items to honor, lasting one week for years turned into an event. Festivals are held with students from every school in the country.
 It is expected that the peak of the powers will be at the Presidential Complex in Ankara, the capital. Every year, from 40 countries around 800 children perform folk dances. The date originally marked as a holiday on the occasion of the National Sovereignty Day.
It has also been celebrated as a Children's Day since 1920. So April 23 is very important to us.  
Happy Children’s Day]]> 2020-04-21 13:16:11 UTC https://padlet.com/gamzece1985/2fxkg1mpukwu41zi/wish/520193646 gamzece1985 https://padlet.com/gamzece1985/2fxkg1mpukwu41zi/wish/520210413 I think that I am so lucky to be a Turkish because we had a smart, successful, precious leader Ataturk. He brought us independence and he saved us. 
He gave special importance and loved kids. For this reason, he presented April 23rd as National Sovereignty day to children. Not for only Turkish children, but also for children all around the world. 
    Every year we celebrate April 23rd National Sovereignty and Children's day. All the houses, schools and streets hang the national flags. Students and teachers decorate their classes, write poems about April 23rd and do traditional dances they prepared weeks ago.

He loved children that's why he presented the 23rd April as Children's Day for children all around the world. In Turkey every year Turkish people celebrate this festival. You can’t find anywhere that isn’t decorated. You can see traditional costumes, dances, shows, Turkish flags and of course our leader Ataturk's photo is everywhere. 
He is everywhere and also he is always in our hearts. He is one of the best leaders. This year we can’t go out and watch traditional dances. If you ask why, because of corona virus but I think this is the best way for this year because nothing is important than our health.]]> 2020-04-21 13:36:26 UTC https://padlet.com/gamzece1985/2fxkg1mpukwu41zi/wish/520251211 gamzece1985 https://padlet.com/gamzece1985/2fxkg1mpukwu41zi/wish/520272437 On the 23rd of April, everyone in Turkey especially children celebrate this festival with a big enthusiasm which Atarürk gave us as a celebration for children. For this celebration, National Sovereignty was announced and freedom, democracy and justice were achieved in Turkey. Actually, on this day, everyone in Turkey goes on the street and celebrate this day. Schools are doing some organizations for children's day but this year, the 23rd of April we won’t celebrate it at school or on the streets because there is a virus which is a pandemic. Despite this, we will celebrate the 23rd of April from our homes. Of course, this celebration won’t like other celebrations but Ataturk did everything, work hard and never give up for us and he is still living in our hearts. At the same time, this celebration is for our country but a few years ago children from all over the World come to Turkey because Ataturk also gave this celebration to all the children in the world.
Thank you, Dear Ancestor…  ]]> 2020-04-21 13:43:27 UTC https://padlet.com/gamzece1985/2fxkg1mpukwu41zi/wish/520272437 gamzece1985 https://padlet.com/gamzece1985/2fxkg1mpukwu41zi/wish/520323765 It’s 2020. This year is one of the most important years. COVID-19? No, 23rd of April! This year is the Republic of Turkey’s 100th year. We are grateful for our leader Mustafa Kemal Ataturk because he established a country which is Turkey. Also, he gave this special day as a gift to children. And he made a present for children all over the world, not for Turkey. 
COVID -19 is not a problem for us, we can celebrate it at our homes. Normally we celebrate this important and special day with some shows, concerts or celebrations. Firstly, in the morning we sing our anthem and then decorate our houses with Turkish flags. We dress in t-shirts. On these t-shirts, there is a Turkish flag, our leader Ataturk's photo or our leader's signature. We sing songs, children play together, everyone is happy on the 23rd of April.
And also we know it isn’t really easy to establish a new country. We will always follow our leader's way.]]> 2020-04-21 14:00:15 UTC https://padlet.com/gamzece1985/2fxkg1mpukwu41zi/wish/520323765 gamzece1985 https://padlet.com/gamzece1985/2fxkg1mpukwu41zi/wish/520403446 On 23 April 1920, the Turkish Grand National Assembly was opened. Must be the name of this big day since it opened, and had this feast to whom it belongs to determine if. It's the name of this holiday as a gift to children's Day and it was given to children. It is celebrated on April 23 every year. In our country, every year with children coming from foreign countries are held by. Every school in every city celebrates the festival. This holiday is very special for children and a fun holiday for children.]]> 2020-04-21 14:24:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gamzece1985/2fxkg1mpukwu41zi/wish/520403446 gamzece1985 https://padlet.com/gamzece1985/2fxkg1mpukwu41zi/wish/520414344 In the World, the first children's day is the 23rd of April and all children from all around the world can join it. At the festival, everyone is so happy and proud of Ataturk. They know that this festival belongs to all children and every child wakes up with a big smile and children become one. In short, the festival is so amazing and everyone remembers this culture again and again but this year we can’t celebrate this beautiful festival because of COVID. Despite everything, I hope that in Turkey we will celebrate it again. If we look from a different place, it’s not so hard to be happy or not fight each other. On the 23rd of April, we became one so on other days we can keep that perspective with all human beings. There is no need for war, disease or shouts. We can be happy in a simple day. We can live without a fight. Life is short. You must have a good time. To be happy we don't need the 23rd of April only, every day we can be happy and be together. Yes, the 23rd of April is very important for all of us but after that day we must keep our good behaviors and become one. Not only the 23rd of April, but EVERY DAY can also be our festival.]]> 2020-04-21 14:28:08 UTC https://padlet.com/gamzece1985/2fxkg1mpukwu41zi/wish/520414344 gamzece1985 https://padlet.com/gamzece1985/2fxkg1mpukwu41zi/wish/520427650 We’re so lucky children because we have our own day to celebrate that was given from Ataturk to us. Ataturk presented this traditional day, which the assembly was opened, to us because he loved children so much.
 We celebrate this day in schools with songs, dances and some other activities. Everyone hold our flags and live this day very proudly. This year is the 100th anniversary of this day, and we are very happy and honored.

It is celebrated for years. It is presented to children by the founder of the Turkish Republic Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. It is celebrated by children all over the world. This year 100th anniversary will be celebrated. This year we can not celebrate this special day because of a disease called the coronavirus. But we can celebrate it at home, and we can hang the national flags on our windows. I wish we could celebrate it at school with enthusiasm.

Because if we weren’t in quarantine, we would start rehearsals for the 23rd of April. As you know,  it’s National Children's Day. It’s a present from our ancestor Ataturk. Because Ataturk gave this holiday to all children, we celebrate it with children who came to Turkey from other countries. The entertainment lasts a whole week. We wear our most beautiful clothes and hang up decorations everywhere. I think the 23rd of April is the most beautiful day of the year. ]]> 2020-04-21 14:46:41 UTC https://padlet.com/gamzece1985/2fxkg1mpukwu41zi/wish/520472936 gamzece1985 https://padlet.com/gamzece1985/2fxkg1mpukwu41zi/wish/520495813 Dear Ancestor,
You were a great leader who stood out against difficulties, worked hard and never gave up.
You devoted yourself to your nation. You had presented us, children, April 23rd. You had left us a very beautiful homeland.
We have a special celebration every year thanks to you and every Turk all around the world celebrates it. On the other hand, we can´t celebrate our national children’s day because of an illness. Anyway, we owe you so much, for example, our freedom, our rights and so much more that we can never pay back to you. Thank you so much for everything.]]> 2020-04-21 14:54:09 UTC https://padlet.com/gamzece1985/2fxkg1mpukwu41zi/wish/520495813 gamzece1985 https://padlet.com/gamzece1985/2fxkg1mpukwu41zi/wish/520845184 Dear Ancestor, 
First  I want to say; you are a good person and a great leader.
 And then;
You stood many difficulties which helped us. But I want to talk about April 23rd National Sovereignty and Children’s Day.  In all countries around the world, we have a special day just like this. On this national day, everywhere is filled with enthusiasm, thousands of people organize enormous colorful decorations. Also, buildings, all the houses, and streets are decorated with flags.
But this year we can’t celebrate our National Sovereignty and Children’s  Day because of an illness but our health more important than everything. On the other hand, you are always in my heart and you always will be. ]]> 2020-04-21 16:49:45 UTC https://padlet.com/gamzece1985/2fxkg1mpukwu41zi/wish/520845184 gamzece1985 https://padlet.com/gamzece1985/2fxkg1mpukwu41zi/wish/520900280 On April 23, 1920, the Grand National Assembly of Turkey was opened. Since it was opened, this big day should have had a name and whoever this holiday belongs to should be determined. And this holiday named "Children's Day" and it was given to the children. It is celebrated 23rd of April every year. Every year, foreign children all around the world visit to our country. We organize special festivals together. These festivals take place in every school and every city. The festival is special for everyone, especially for children. Ataturk, the first president of Turkey, presented this day to the children. We are very thankful to you. ]]> 2020-04-21 17:09:52 UTC https://padlet.com/gamzece1985/2fxkg1mpukwu41zi/wish/520900280
