Christmas traditions at Holy Trinity School.

At Holy Trinity School the students told to everybody in the following videos about their Christmas Traditions. Let's have a look, because they are very interesting ones.

Talking about Christmas Traditions

When we are talking about Christmas we could think that in every country they celebrate like us, because Christmas it is also part of our cultural heritage.  Do you know that Christmas finish on the 2nd of January in England? Or that Spain is the only country in which we have 12 grapes to celebrate the New Year.

We want you to think about what are exactly our traditions at Christmas time. For that purpose we are going to take pictures during our holidays about what your family and you consider it is a Christmas tradition:

• Christmas' Eve.
• Christmas Day.
• New Year's Eve
• New Year's Day.
• The Three Wise Men day.

Process of working :

STEP 1 During Christmas Holiday. You have to take a picture or record a short video (always English speaking) about the different moments we purpose you previously. And take some notes about how you are celebrating this moment.

• What did you have for lunch or dinner?
• Who are with you?
• What do you usually do on this moment?

 Let's complete all the information in the following chart.

Let's try to be concrete because you will write a post into your blog when we return from Christmas Holidays.

We are sure that you had a great time with your family and friend along these days. And now it is time to create a post to summarize them and check the different cultural habits.

You have to create a post into the digital portfolio with the following parts:

• Greetings.
• Explanation of the activity.
• Picture for Christmas' Eve.
• Explanation about what happen on this day.
• Picture for Christmas' Day.
• Explanation about what happen on this day.

• Picture for Thre Wise Men Day.

Celebrating Christmas with our eTwinning partners

This year we have worked a lot before Christmas Holidays in order to celebrate Christmas time with our eTwinning partners with two important activities:
