Alhambra's Special "Pancake Day"

Alhough official Pancake Day was celebrated on 12th February this year, in our school we chose the last day after Spring Break. We learnt some facts about Pancake Day and, the best of all, a group of mothers cooked pancakes for pupils and teachers! We ate them plain, with chocolate, with cream or both! 

Pancakes were delicious!!

Here are some of the projects that my youngest students have done.

And here are some photos of the making and eating process.

Saint Patrick's Day

Today is St. Patrick's Day, the patron saints of Ireland.

Here you have an adapted poem about shamrocks (its symbol).

FIVE GREEN SHAMROCKS

One green shamrock, in the morning dew,

Another one more,

and now there are two.

Two green shamrocks, growing behind a tree;

Another one more,

and now there are three.

Three green shamrocks, next to the house door;

Another one more,

and now there are four.

Four green shamrocks, near a beehive;

Another one more,

and now there are five.

Five little shamrocks, bright and green,

Think of all the luck

these shamrocks will bring.

After reading and trying to learn the poem, choose your favorite shamrock, print and colour it!

shamrocks number 1 and 2

shamrock number 3

sharmrocks number 4 and 5

Hoy es el día de San Patricio, el patrón de Irlanda.

Aquí tenéis un poema adaptado sobre los tréboles, su simbolo.

(no voy a poner la traducción del poema porque en castellano no rima, si tenéis alguna duda podéis dejarla en los comentarios)

Después de leer el poema e intentar aprenderlo, escoge tu trébol favorito, imprime y colorealo!
