Last week we worked on St Patrick's Day, the popular Irish holiday celebrated on March 17th.
The students did several activities:
- They watched a video to find out about the history of St Patrick and the celebration of this important day.
- They listened to a couple of songs to identify the symbols associated to this day and completed an oral activity to learn the new vocabulary.
- They played a little game to reveal their Irish leprechaun names. Then they used the laptops to look up their names on the Cambridge online dictionary. Their leprechaun names were very funny!
- They added a green hat and a red beard to a photograph of themselves in order to resemble a leprechaun. Then, they used this photograph to ask a classmate what their leprechaun name was. All their leprechaun faces were displayed on one wall of our school corridor.
- They did an online activity on Liveworksheets. They had to complete some gaps by selecting the right option from three given alternatives. After that, they listened to the text, once they had got all the answers correct.
- And lastly, they practiced how to search images on Google. Then, they copied and pasted the images on a text document. For this, they already had the sentences written down on a text document. They needed to search for the appropriate image representing each sentence and paste it below. They also had to save this document and submit it to Classroom.
