In Portugal, the students have done this work with the teacher Isabel Pratas (she is an English teacher and she also teaches Portuguese to the Students).
Each student have done 2 hands: one to stay at our school, and the other one to send to our friends of the other countries.
Meanwhile, we started to receive the hands from our friends. We were so happy for it.
Our teachers asked for some help of 3 nice ladies that work at our school, working with the students during their free time. They helped to prepare the tree and to post the hands.
When the tree was close to our classroom, we decided to use it as a Christmas Tree... All the good feelings written in the hands would be the perfect Chrsitmas presents for all of us.
