See you at the movies!

Today was a very special day at school for 1st and 2nd grade. In the morning, we turned our classrooms into a cinema. Everything was there: the film posters, the seat numbers, the screen, the projector, the loudspeakers, the tickets, the trailers... even the popcorn cones! We worked a lot to earn some play money so we could pay the ticket price at the box-office: 1,45€.

After lunch, when everybody had bought a ticket, we got some popcorn and enjoyed the movies!

Saint Patrick's Day!

St. Patrick's Day or the feast of Saint Patrick is celebrated on March 17th every year in honor of the anniversary of his death in 460 AD. St. Patrick was a patron of Ireland and devoted his himself to the christian religion. 

There are many symbols that represent this festive holiday and one is the Shamrock, the official flower of Ireland. St. Patrick used the shamrock to explain the holy trinity to the Irish and legend says that if you fund a four leaf clover on Saint Patrick's Day it will bring you luck. Each of the four leaves of the lucky clover represent hope, faith, love and luck! 

There are other popular symbols too: Leprechaun, Pot of Gold, rainbows, the harp and the color green. There are many countries in the world that celebrate St. Patrick's Day with parades, parties, dancing, drinking green colored beverages, eating corn beef and cabbage and many people wear green clothing, hats and shammrock pins to avoid being pinched. Don't forget to wear green on this Irish holiday!
