Saint Patrick´s Day at school

Last month of March, we learned about Ireland and some important traditions in this country.

We used our map skills to locate Ireland on a world map. Ireland is a small island close to England. We also located other English speaking countries such as: United States of America and Australia.

We identified some of the most important symbols in Irish tradition by watching a power point presentation:

We also celebrated Saint Patrick´s Day. This is the most important day in Ireland to honour irish culture and traditions.

These are some of the activities we carried out during the week:

All the children came to school wearing green clothes on Saint Patrick´s day.

We cut out and pasted different parts to make a leprechaun´s hat.

Santi and Diego are also drawing leprechaun´s ears to attach them to the hat.

" We are now naughty leprechauns"

We prepared green jelly in the kitchen and wrote down the recipe.

We ate green jelly using our five senses:
