Hello everyone,
Boxing Day is celebrated in Britain, Canada, Australia and other Commonwealth countries every year on December 26th. This tradition stated in the United Kingdom in the 19th century under Queen Victoria and it's a Bank Holiday which became official in 1871.
Catholics know the day as St. Stephen's Day.

There is a variety of explanations related to the holiday's origins. Some say it's the song "Good King Wenceslas". According to the song, the 10th century Duke looked out on his land on St. Stephen's Day on December 26th and saw a poor peasant. He ordered food, wine and fuel to be taken to the peasant and called for all the Christians men to bless the poor in the same way.
Hello everyone,
Do you like eating a small piece of cake after having lunch? I love it.
I bought this cake with Christmas decorations made in local pastry shop in my village. Everything is home-baked and it's delicious. It's an almond cake. I love the decorations and and the wonderful good taste it leaves after eating a small piece. Merry Christmas.

Children have done these beautiful Christmas cards to say a big thank you to their teacher for keeping them safe, working hard, supporting and inspiring them before, during and after COVID19 pandemic.
They have written wonderful messages to their teacher showing their appreciation for her dedication.

Hello everyone,

They are great singers.
Fantastic piece of job!
Hello everyone,
Our Year 5 students have made these Christmas cards for their pen pals. We have also inserted a picture of each of us and we have recorded a video wishing them Merry Christmas and Happy New Year using three languages: English, Spanish and Valencian. We haven't included pictures and videos to protect our image. It allows us to start discussing online safety an early age.
It's important to show them that the real world and the online world are quite similar and both are safe and unsafe.
Here you can see one of our presentations. We hope you like it.
On the other hand, we also appreciate these drawings which Leire and her teacher have done for revising Christmas vocabulary related to decorations and food. We hope you like them.
Leire's teacher drawings. They are fantastic.
