Happy Saint Patrick’s day ! (by Akapo, Anna, Klervie)

1/ What is St Patrick’s day ?
St patrick’s day is an Irish party On St Patrick’s day, we do parades in Ireland (when there is no covid!).

2/ What we did at school
We wear green or we get pinched and we did Irish games.
We did a « musical shamrock » ; to play musical shamrock, you need music and photos of shamrocks.
How to play?
We stick shamrocks on the floor. Then, we play music and we have to go on the shamrocks when the music stops. If you don’t go on the shamrock you lose.
