My favourite school tradition
Usually every school has a lot of traditions. My favourite tradition in my school is celebrating New Year's Day and having a big party in our assembly hall. There is always a tall New Year tree there. All our schoolchildren come to the party wearing fancy dress costumes. We sing New Year's songs and dance around the New Year tree. There are a lot of fun contests and at the end we all get our gifts from Father Frost. After this my classmates and our teacher come to our classroom to have tea with sweets and biscuits.
I like this tradition very much!
