St JORDI

St Jordi is the patron saint of Catalonia and it’s the day for the people in love, too. All the people in cities, towns and villages from Catalonia celebrate this event. There are many interesting activities to do. Some people celebrate this event doing theatre, others sell roses and books… Saint Jordi has got a tradition. When two people are in love, the boy has to buy a rose and then give to the girl, and the girl has to buy an interesting book as a present to the boy.

In my school, we celebrate St Jordi. All the morning we do a language’s gymkhana. We do some activities with Catalan, Spanish, English and French. Then we have breakfast. You can buy the breakfast in a stall of 3^rd ESO. All the money they do, is for the travel of 4^th ESO. After the playground, we do a festival. All the students can do something, if they want. You can sing, you can dance, you can do a little theatre, and you can recite poems… The teachers of Catalan, Spanish, English and French, give the prizes of the narrations we presented some weeks before. After that we have lunch together in the playground of the school.

My family and I, when we finish the school, go to a library shop, we look the books and after that we buy some ones.

This is how I celebrate St Jordi’s event.
