Special dates to celebrate in January

 6th January 

2025

Twelfth Night  /  Epiphany  

("Dia de Reis")

We're back!  The second term has already started. 

I do really hope this Christmas time break has been enjoyable and relaxing. 

I have a simple curiosity to share with you. 

Do you know that ... ?

The Epiphany  is: 

"a Christian holy day in January 

(traditionally 6th January in Western Christianity) 

that celebrates the revelation of the baby Jesus to the world."

And do you know the word also means:

"a moment when you suddenly feel that you understand,  or suddenly become conscious of, something that is very important to you."

We are all looking forward to the next few days, which will be awesome, relaxing, and full of joy.

Dear students,

Thanksgiving day

Everyday we have something to be thankful for, for sure. 

We take things for granted. However, there are many people that do not have the chance of having friends, food, a home, a job, a school, toys, ... 

How lucky we are and sometimes we do not understand it!

Thanksgiving is celebrated mostly in the USA,  and also in Canada, and has a reason, a purpose. 

It really is an important time of the year for Americans. 

It is a "(...) cherished American holiday that brings families and friends together to express gratitude, share a festive meal, and reflect on the blessings of the past year. It's a time for giving thanks for the abundance in our lives and celebrating the spirit of togetherness."  (https://www.awarenessdays.com/awareness-days-calendar/thanksgiving-2024/#:~:text=November%2028,celebrating%20the%20spirit%20of%20togetherness.)

Do you want to find out more about it? Read below.

"Thanksgiving, which occurs on the fourth Thursday in November, is based on the colonial Pilgrims' 1621 harvest meal. The holiday continues to be a day for Americans to gather for a day of feasting, football and family. (...)" (in https://www.history.com/topics/thanksgiving )

In EBHC, students from classes 7thA, 7thB, 8thA, 8thB & 9thA wrote their ideas and thoughts on the topic "What are you thankful for?"

Find out  HERE  what they wrote. 

These are only some of their comments done in class, on Thanksgiving day.
