St Patrick's Day

I teach preschool every day from 9.50 until 12.40 and every Friday is known as 'Fun Friday' when the kids get to draw and make stuff rather than do regular lessons. Today we celebrated St Patrick's Day and all the teachers and students wore something green. I tried to explain to them what St Patrick's Day was all about (not easy when they've only been studying English for 3 weeks), taught them to say "Happy St Patricks Day" and we made and decorated some paper shamrocks.

All the preschool students then had a 'getting to know you' session in the big playgym where they all introduced themselves and each class chanted (ie shouted) 'Happy St Patricks Day'. I was very proud that my class said it the best!
