 * Just before Christmas Holiday 2012**

The pupils of C1 grade of our school created a story titled "Christmas wishes". The idea is based on the material of Magic Book and more specifically on two stories pupils seem to like the most: that of Bella the cat and the one of Pinnochio. Pupils adapted certain parts of these two stories and came up with the material you can see [|here] or by clicking on the book cover above. For the illustration of the story we used "**Storybird**", a nice digital story-telling tool. Hope you enjoy your read!
