Valentine's Day!




Valentine’s Day is a traditional celebration from Anglo-Saxons countries that has been spread in other countries during the XX Century. It is celebrated the 14th of February, Valentine saint’s day. In some countries it is known as “Day for people in love” and in others like “Day for love and friendship”
El Día de San Valentín es una celebración tradicional de países anglosajones que se ha ido implantando en otros países a lo largo del siglo XX. Se celebra el 14 de febrero, onomástico de San Valentín. En algunos países se conoce como Día de los Enamorados y en otros como Día del Amor y la Amistad.



We have celebrated this special day of love and friendship in our school sending cards to our friends or sweethearts in the playground. A group of students have been "Love postmen and postwomen" and they have delivered the cards to their addressees in the "love train". We should do this type of things everyday!

Hemos celebrado este día especial de amor y amistad en nuestro colegio mandando cartas a nuestros amigos o enamorados em el recreo.  Un grupo de alumnos han sido los "mensajeros y mensajeras del amor" y han repartido las cartas a sus destinatarios en "el tren del amor". ¡Deberíamos hacer cosas como estas todos los días!
