Saint Patrick's Day - IES BLAS DE OTERO

 WE ARE BILINGUAL, ... so why don't we celebrate British, Irish or American festivities? Or at least, why don't we learn a bit about them?

That's the reason to decorate our hall for a week with information about this nice Irish tradition, which is also celebrated by Irish communities all over the world.

But first I have to thank to the few students who collaborate with their adornments and posters for the hall and their classes. Thank you!!!

 Posters and adornments are important, but there are other activities including in this celebration and traditions that must be learnt and loved: IRISH MUSIC is fantastic. It doesn't matter if it is a pop music group like "The Corrs" or the typical music you listen to in pubs.

The selection this week included both of them as follows:

On Monday: The Best of Corrs, 2001
On Tuesday: Pub music
On Wednesday: The Corrs, HOME, 2005
On Thursday: Pub music
On Friday: Pub music

Lovely photos of different towns and cities in Ireland / Éireánn / Eire could be seen on the left noticeboard in the hall, so you all could appreciate the marvellous buildings and landscapes all over the country and the famous statue of Molly Malone, in the city centre of Dublin.

There are lots of traditions, sayings and songs connected with St. Patrick's Day.

Try to read them and say them aloud to practice your English and...

Don't forget:

"IF YOU DON'T WEAR GREEN, YOU'LL GET PINCH".

See you next St. Patrick's
