Today has been a special day at school: we have celebrated St. Patrick´s Day with the visit of Declan Mathews, an Irish teacher, member of honour of our school community. So we all have been Irish for a day, and wore green, a lucky colour. We have learned many facts about Ireland thanks to Declan: its location, flag, population, capital city, currency, main dishes, musical instruments and some traditions about this popular celebration. At the end, we had to answer 10 questions of a quiz and, as we did it so well, we got the leprechaun´s pot of gold!!! Hurray!!! Here are the pics of this unforgettable day and some games to practise the words.
Thank you so much, Declan, for your patience, kindness and wisdom!
