Penpals – Escolapies, Olesa, Spain
First year students reading some of the Christmas cards they received from their penpals in Escolapies, Olesa in Northern Spain.
They learned all about Christmas in Spain including the Catalunian tradition of ‘caga tio’ which involves children ‘feeding’ a wooden log in the days before Christmas so they will receive lots of gifts on Christmas Day.
