FESTIVALS - CHRISTMAS: A new year

A time to start new good habits and quit the bad ones:"A new year, a fresh start" or "Out with the old, in with the new". What do you want to achieve this new year? What are your goals?

This will bring good fortune to your house. Who will be our first-footer at school?

3.- Finally, a good resolution for this year is to follow the coronavirus safety measures. Do you remember them? Don´t forget the new words that are appearing lately: a new strain (Omicron), the sixth wave, the vaccine, a close contact, quarantine, isolation  ...
