January

All of us celebrated on New Year`s Eve. On New Year`s Day we had a big meal including pork for good luck and lentils soup for prosperity. Stay away from fish or poultry today!!! Those meals may make your luck swim or fly away.

1st January is also the day when Czechoslovakia split and the Czech and the Slovac Republic came into existence. Not many people celebrate this act, but it’s a pity because it was a very important event for us. The second important holiday is the holiday of Three Kings on January 6. A lot of people go in disguise as three kings, they go to people`s houses and ask: Would you like to contribute to the people in need? Mostly they get some money.

In January we had a lot of work for school, because the term finishes on 31st January and we get a school certificate.
But January is also a months of balls. Our school with the help of parents also organizes one, a Students` Ball ----->
The last year`s students were decorated - as usual, and some programme was prepared by students from different classes, and also by our class. As we attended dancing classes, which has become a tradition for 2nd year and Sexta students, there are usually some dance performances - at the beginning of the ball something more formal, and at midnight some crazier dance........
