St Patricks Day!

We have had a great day celebrating St. Patrick's Day in preschool! We started the day by using a book and the computer to find out why we celebrate St. Patricks Day and learning about St Patrick himself! Then we found some iconic features of St. Patrick's day such as shamrocks and leprechauns! We have enjoyed painting with potatoes, making our own shamrocks in our play dough station and making a big rainbow. We shared a story about how the Irish fairy visits rainbows and leaves a pot of gold at the end. To our amazement in the afternoon, we noticed something at the end of our rainbow... our very own envelope filled with cold coins - the children was amazed! We finished off the day listening to a variety of Irish music as well as learning a small Irish dance.
