Today at St Clare’s we had our German Day.Our German teacher Mrs Redmond organised a food display full of traditional German Christmas food. Everyone had a turn to go down to the hall to try them all, first it was the four classes that learn to speak German and then continuously down the classes. We also had a visit from Sister Bernadette and Sister Mary. Every year in Germany in towns they have a Christmas market.In these Christmas markets people set up stalls and sell handmade things like ornaments,food and gifts. Here is a link that gives you the history of German Christmas Markets.
