The following video is a good listening practice for children and it shows the importance of Easter customs in Britain:



More electrical cicuits!

As we said in previous posts children of 6th Primary have been working on electricity and how it works in electrical circuits and they made beautiful projects!











We make a map and a leaflet

In 3rd Primary English lessons we have been working on the town and important buildings so  the children made a overview of the unit through a mini book about maps and leaflets.

This is the result!




Natural disasters

The children in 5th primary have been studying different things about natural disasters and at the end of the unit they made this great works about it!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!



St Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. He was born in the 4th century and brought christianity to Ireland. He converted pagans into christians. It is said that he drove the snakes out of Ireland. He died on the 17th March, 461. That is the reason why we celebrate Saint Patrick's Day!

 
The story about St Patrick is full of legend and symbols as the following:

Shamrocks: threeleaved clovers that grow in grass. You’ll be lucky if you find one!!!


Leprechauns: little Irish fairies, they are shoe-makers. They wear big green hats and if you find one he will tell you where he hides his pot of gold!


 

 You can watch the following video about the history of St. Patrick:




Here you are a song about Saint Patrick:



You can  watch the following video to see how they celebrate St. Patrick's Day in Ireland with their beautiful parades:
