This year we celebrated Saint Patrick’s Day by having a Saint Patrick’s themed week in our classroom, from Monday 13th – Thursday 16th March 2023. We learned about the life and legend of Saint Patrick in our religion and history lessons. We also learned about how Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated here and around the world. In ‘Gaeilge’,we learned lots of vocabulary linked to Saint Patrick’s Day, played some games to practice our vocabulary and made some lovely Saint Patrick’s Day headbands. For maths, we completed Saint Patrick’s themed maths challenges and Saint Patrick’s Day symmetry. We  made Saint Patrick’s Men for art. On Thursday, we all wore something green to school, to mark this very special occasion. 

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to Everyone!!!!
