We began the day having art with Mr. Monaghan and physical education with Ms. Lovan.
After we discussed St. Patrick’s Day and what we know about
this holiday. We then learned some interesting information about St. Patrick’s
Day, Ireland, and the clover.
Here are some: In
Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day, people traditionally wear a small bunch of
shamrocks on their jackets or hats. Children wear orange, white, and green
badges, and women and girls wear green ribbons in their hair. Many cities have a St. Patrick’s Day parade.
St. Patrick Day
is on March 17 because that is the celebration day of St. Patrick, the patron
saint of Ireland. It is believed that he died on March 17 a very long time ago.
The Irish flag is green, white, and orange.
The green symbolizes the people of
the south, and orange, the people of the north. White represents the peace that
brings them together. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the
highest number of leaves found on a clover is 14! Legend says that each leaf of
the clover means something: the first is hope, the second for faith, the third
for love, and the fourth for luck.
After we imagined that we found a pot of gold and a
leprechaun gave us six wishes. We thought about what would be our six wishes
and then we wrote each one on coloured construction paper. We then cut out a
cloud and put our wishes on the cloud to represent a rainbow.
After first recess and lunch we had French. When students
returned, they wrote their spelling test, wrote their homework in their agendas
and then did some graphing with lucky charm marshmallows!! Afterwards, they
answered questions about their graphs.
At the end of the day we had a St. Patrick’s Day house game!
Have a great two weeks off!!!
