2 At first. The Puritans didn’t like the religion « Church Of England » So, the Puritans had an idea : to leave the country. They left Plymouth (city of England) for the New World : America to establish their new religion in 1606 with 102 people.

3 The Trip. They boarded the Mayflower (boat). The trip was long and difficult. During the trip, one baby was born, his name was Oceanus. It lasted two months and a lot of crew members died because the first winter was very cold. They remained on the boat while they built their village.

4 The Arrival. They arrived in Massachusetts and named the place « Plymouth ». 52 out of 102 people survived the first winter. They built a new village in Plymouth. The following years they celebrated their arrival and the harsh winter that they had just passed with a great feast called Thanksgiving.
