Happy new year!!! We are back with more energy than ever!!!!Now that a new year begins, it is the right time to think about the past, but having in mind new challenges for the coming 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? Is there anything that needs to be improved? Let´s write our new year´s resolutions. But what is that?

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