The Feast of Ephiphany


Buenas Tardes (good afternoon) children and teachers of Ryton Park,

WOW what an exciting morning we have had. Today is January 5th 2010, which was thought was just a normal sunny day in Madrid. We woke up this morning as normal ready for a Spanish breakfast of cafe con leche (coffee with lots of hot frothy milk) and lemon flavoured cupcakes, but instead we found a pile of beautifully wrapped presents with our names on the gift tags! Its not our birthday so why have we got these presents? Are they really for us? Should we open them? Can you use your computers search engine to find out the answers to these questions please? We have heard children from the houses around us shouting and cheering happily 'Gracias Baltasar'!

Use the search engine which is safer for children www.askkids.com and type into the search box 'los reys'

Thank you and let us know if we can open these presents we do not know how long we can wait!

NB: To teachers the first website on ask kids should be www.studioporto.com/diadelostreyesmagos/

  1. Hello Superhero, we have looked on the internet and found out about this tradition. Yes, you can open the presents on the 5th January because it is the eve of the Epiphany. We hope you enjoy the presents.
