St. Patrick's day.

On March 17th we celebrate St. Patrick, the saint patron of Ireland. We watched St. Patrick's story,  videos with the traditions of this day, songs,  we did a big poster and we made a make-up activity during the break. Pupils form the 5th and 6th grade drew and coloured a shamrock, one of the Irish symbols, to the young pupils. Happy St. Patrick!

Happy Thanksgiving Day.

Last Thursday, November 24th, we celebrated Thanksgiving Day. It is a public holiday in the U.S.A. and in Canada in the autumn. In The U.S.A. it is celebrated the forth thursday in November. It was originally a day when people celebrated the end of the harvest and thanked God for it, remembering the pilgrims of the Mayflower who arrived to Plymouth in 1620. The traditional meals are roast turkey and pumpkin pie.
