According to the Italian tradition, the Befana is an old woman who brings presents to every child during the night of January 5th. The arrival of la Befana is celebrated with traditional Italian foods such as panettone and marks the end of the long and festive holiday season in Italy.

Days of rehearsals with Christmas spirit to end up the term with joy.

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year when we celebrate the tradition of sending cards. This is a great way to show to our partners we care and we are thinking on them during this special time of the year.

 

This is one of our Christmas recycling activities based on a Xmas story.Merry Christmas Big Hungry Bear is a story about a little mouse and a big bear who lives in a cold dark cave.The mouse always receives lots of presents at Christmas but the bear never gets any. One night the mouse dresses up as Santa Claus and takes a present to the bear. When he gets to the bear's cave he is surprised to see that the bear has a present for him.

Message:

“At Christmas time we should think of those less fortunate than ourselves.”

This year our Christmas carol is Rudolph the red-nosed Reindeer "Rodolfo el reno"in several languages. To start with let's try Spanish and English, piano, piano.We are going to make our mask in class and for the rest we will let you know in the coming days.

Sure a great cake to have breakfast!Hidden in this special cake " Roscón de Reyes" is a miniature figure of a king or a crown and whoever is lucky enough to find it, he/she is treated like a king for the rest of the day. However , you can be the one to pay the cake if you get the bean, the unlucky prize.

Legend has it that in 1670, the choirmaster at the Cologne Cathedral in Germany handed out sugar sticks among his young singers to keep them quiet during the long Living Creche ceremony. In honor of the occasion, he had the candies bent into shepherds' crooks.

For us to taste  these little sweets  has been the last surprise of the magic day.

Just a click on the candy cane and you will have Christmas  activities; games, songs, stories...  

We all know that the Wise Men arrive "officially" on 5th January.However, one of them, Melchoir came to our classroom with some beautiful presents ( a magnetic house and a bingo ).Have you been good at school? at home? .You know how well or badly have done and those who have written  "not finished" on their workbook...they have time to catch up with the rest. 

We want to congratulate all our students for their wonderful works. Our first graders made very creative ones. However, only one per class can be the winner of the school Christmas Card  Contest.
