Mr O'Sullivan shared some facts with us about Ireland. He told us he comes from Cork. Cork is a city near the bottom of Ireland. He told us that people in Ireland love to eat potatoes and wear green clothes a lot! We weren't sure if he was tricking or not! Mr O'Sullivan asked us to put our hand up if anyone in our family comes from Ireland. Lots of us thought our Grandparents and their Grandparents came from Ireland!
We were very clever listeners as Mr O'Sullivan shared some stories and facts about Ireland.
Our buddy activity was to make Shamrock People together. Shamrocks are a 3 leaf clover and are one of the symbols that remind people of Ireland.
Our buddies helped us cut out the shapes.
Our buddies helped us to follow the instructions.
We had to sellotape and glue the arms and legs on.
Bobby Bear even joined in!
Can you spot him in his St Patricks Day hat?
We had to fold the paper back and forth, back and forth to make the arms and legs for our Shamrock Buddy!
What amazing buddies we have!
They teach us, and let us have turns to practice
all the tricky parts.
We pasted the edge of our Shamrock with PVA glue and then we smothered it in green glitter.
We gave them big googly eyes and a bright red happy smile.
We are going to display our St Patricks Day Smiling Shamrocks in the school library to share with everyone.
What a great time we had with our buddies. It is fun getting to know other teachers and children at our school!
Do you have any family or friends who are from Ireland or who like to celebrate St Patricks Day?
I wonder what we could do next with our buddies in A2?
Leave us a comment if you have some ideas!
