MERRY CHRISTMAS
Today it is the last day of this school term. Unbelievable!!! You have all done a great effort, not only academically, but also with the sanitary prevention measures. You come to school every day with a smile despite the face mask and the social distance. You are the best!!!
So we can relax today and enjoy one of the most famous Christmas stories: "The snowman". It was originally an illustrated book by Raymond Briggs and later, in 1982, a short film. Here are both formats: a shortened version of the story for you to read and the full movie to watch.
Merry Christmas to you all!!!
