Boxing Day

Merry Christmas once again. I hope you all enjoyed Christmas day. I certainly did. I was with my family and we had a lovely dinner and gave each other presents and had a great time.
Today is Boxing Day, also known as Saint Stephen's Day.

So where did the name Boxing Day come from.?
Choose which answer you think is correct and post your answer in the comments. I will let you know who gets the answer right.


Why is today also known as Boxing Day?

a) It is a day when we collect all the empty present boxes and put them in the bin.
b) It is a day we make boxes.
c) It is a day when we go to watch a boxing match.
d) It was a day when people would open the Christmas Box which was used to collect money for the poor. The money would then be given to the poor.

If you need help you can always check this site for a clue.

Happy Boxing Day.

Canterbury School Christmas Shows.

Fantastic! What a week we have had. Three different Christmas shows and each was the best Christmas show ever! The Infant show was spectacular especially the soloists. They were very brave singing in front of a packed theatre. The 1º and 2º grade children were wonderful with their singing and dancing and finally today we had the 3º, 4º and 5º grades who performed so well that many of the parents didn't want to leave.

So, Fantastic work everyone and a special well done to 4C who created their own dance thanks to Donina, Natalia, Maria H great ideas.
