Hi, Olenka!
Do you celebrate Christmas at your school?
Our pupils would like to have a Christmas party in our school cafeteria this year. We always have a big party and we usually order a turkey with vegetables and a Christmas pudding for dinner. Before the party we have a special show which tells us the story of Christmas. This year Mary and I would like to be angels. We also sing Christmas carols, dance and play games. One of them is “Secret Santa”! Everyone buys a present for one of their classmates and puts it under our Christmas tree. And then everybody guesses who his or her Secret Santa is. This year we would also like to help poor people, so we are selling our crafts at Christmas markets to collect money for them.
Have you got any Christmas traditions at school?
