Saint Patrick's Day

On March 17, we celebrated Saint Patrick's Day with the children. We had allocated a whole week to introduce to the children about this celebration.
 During our learning circle sessions, we talked about the origins of this celebration and they were introduced to Saint Patrick, shamrock, leprechaun and of course the colour; green. We also printed out some pictures and paste it on a paper with a few lines of descriptions, which were then be mounted . These frieze cards were then tack on the wall ( within childrens' height) for easier access to the children. 
For craft work, we made a pot of gold. An empty glass jar was painted in green by the children which were then filled with gold choco coins. They then present the jar to their friends. Besides that, we also painted shamrock and leprechaun. 
The highlights of this day was when we all wore green !!
