We learnt all about the real life nativities which take place in the villages in Spain, the types of food eaten during the festive period including seafood, turron and polvorones. The children were shocked to hear that Father Christmas doesn’t visit on the 24th December but that they wait until the arrival of Los Reyes Magos (the 3 kings) on the night of the 5th January. We also learned about the Spanish tradition of eating 12 grapes for good luck at New Year. “I learned that Spanish people eat seafood at Christmas time!” “There was a doughnut cake where you could get a lucky thing or an unlucky thing. If you got the unlucky thing, you had to make the cake next year.” “They eat snails!” “It’s very strange that they don’t have Santa.” “I liked that every person in the village got to take part.” (in the live nativity) [MFL1](https://st-andrew-s-cofe-primary-school.schudio.com/blog/tag/mfl1) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-andrew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/blog/Girls_Y6_football.JPG)](https://st-andrew-s-cofe-primary-school.schudio.com/blog/2023-05-18-14-14-41-year-6-girls-football-tournament) Next ### [Year 6 girls football tournament ](https://st-andrew-s-cofe-primary-school.schudio.com/blog/2023-05-18-14-14-41-year-6-girls-football-tournament) - [![Values-based Education](https://files.schudio.com/st-andrew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/partners/quality_mark.thumb.png)](https://www.st-andrews.oxon.sch.uk/teaching-and-learning/values-based-education) - [![SIAMS](https://files.schudio.com/st-andrew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/partners/SIAMS.png)](https://www.st-andrews.oxon.sch.uk/achievements/siams-report) - [![International School Award](https://files.schudio.com/st-andrew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/partners/ISA-Logo-colour-3.png)](https://www.st-andrews.oxon.sch.uk/teaching-and-learning/international-school-award) - [![RRSA](https://files.schudio.com/st-andrew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/partners/St_Andrews_Partner_(7).png)](https://www.st-andrews.oxon.sch.uk/achievements/rights-respecting-school) - [![Showcase School](https://files.schudio.com/st-andrew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/partners/St_Andrews_Partner.png)](https://st-andrew-s-cofe-primary-school.schudio.com/achievements/microsoft-showcase) - [![Young Carers](https://files.schudio.com/st-andrew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/partners/Award_Logo_-_2026-2029_(8)3.png)](https://st-andrew-s-cofe-primary-school.schudio.com/school-information/young-carers) - [![Storytelling](https://files.schudio.com/st-andrew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/partners/St_Andrews_Partner_(2).png)](https://www.st-andrews.oxon.sch.uk/achievements/storytelling) - [![Healthy School](https://files.schudio.com/st-andrew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/partners/St_Andrews_Partner_(6).png)](https://www.st-andrews.oxon.sch.uk/school-information/lunch-menu) - [![Arts Council](https://files.schudio.com/st-andrew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/partners/St_Andrews_Partner_(5).png)](https://www.st-andrews.oxon.sch.uk/achievements/artsmark-gold) - [![Fairtrade](https://files.schudio.com/st-andrew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/partners/St_Andrews_Partner_(4).png)](https://www.st-andrews.oxon.sch.uk/achievements/fairtrade) - ![Every Child](https://files.schudio.com/st-andrew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/partners/St_Andrews_Partner_(3).png) ##### Location Station Road Chinnor Oxfordshire OX39 4PU ##### Contact Us 01844 351353 ##### Stay Connected - [X](https://x.com/StAndrewsOxon) © Copyright 2017–2026 St Andrew's Church of England Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-andrew-s-cofe-primary-school.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
