Xmas is here! And so are other celebrations!
Each year, people around the world celebrate holidays and traditions that are special to their culture or religion. We all know that Xmas is round the corner, but this year some students have learnt about other celebrations and they want to tell you about them. What do you know about Kwanzaa and Hanukkah?
Listen to the podcast that Martin (1ºBac) has recorded for you with information about these two celebrations that take place nearly at the same time as Christmas.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Yes, it's the title of a beautiful song but it is also true. Christmas is approaching!
In Spain we have some adverts that tell us that this festive season is coming. In the UK, they also have some adverts, quite different from ours but very moving.
The following advert is the one by John Lewis, one of the biggest department stroes in London. It tells us the story of a little boy, Sam, and his friend, Monty the Penguin. It's tale of friendhip, love and giving someone the gift they've been dreaming of this Christmas.
Another well-known department store in London is Harrods. If you want to enjoy a beautiful Christmas tale, have a look at the video below: The Land of Make Believe.

WORLD AIDS DAY
World AIDS Day is held on 1 December each year and is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. World AIDS Day was the first ever global health day and the first one was held in 1988.
30 years after the first cases of HIV – the red ribbon is the universal symbol of awareness and support for those living with HIV. The red ribbon was the first ever ribbon symbol, inspiring later versions such as the pink ribbon for breast cancer awareness.
