Welcome to Spain!! by Spanish Students from Valencia

Christmas in New York

In our Holiday Program, Revelry, the students do a variety of fun dances and songs. One traditional song is called the Boar's Head Carol. Here is a photo of the students carrying in Boar's Head. This would have been sung at traditional English solstice celebrations. The kids also do tradtional dances such as the sword dance and stick dance. This is my school performing the traditional sword dance. This is actually the dress rehearsal since I couldn't film during the real performance due to low light. Hope you enjoy this. Happy Holidays to all.-Señora Perry

COMENZANDO EN NAVIDAD ///  STARTING IN CHRISTMAS

Este curso vamos a comunicarnos con un colegio de Nueva York para practicar nuestras lenguas, el Inglés y el Español, y para conocer algo mas de nuestras culturas, de cómo vivimos: nuestras tradiciones, fiestas...

Para empezar vamos a ver cómo celebramos las navidades en cada uno de nuestros paises:

En Manises-Valencia montamos un Belén o decoramos un Árbol de Navidad; tenemos tres fiestas fundamentalmente:
- 24-25 de Diciembre: celebramos la Nochebuena y Navidad, y es una fiesta religiosa y muy familiar;
 según la tradición cristiana, es cuando nació Jesús de Nazaret
-31 de Diciembre-1 de Enero: la fiesta de Año nuevo; comemos a las 12 de la noche las 12 "uvas de la suerte", una por cada campanada
-noche del 5 al 6 de Enero, vienen los Reyes Magos y dejan regalos a toda la familia
