March 17, It's St Patrick day. The story of St Patrick was read to them in the morning. Children were very keen to listen to the story and the celts, druids, togas which were learned recently in Romans, patrick's little friend ben became their friend. Later on , we thought to learn little about Republic of Ireland, their farmings, capital, languages and type of dishes on the St Patrick's day. We went for H. Mass; could see many irish people in that church with sprouts of shamrock as the badge. Annu wore green dress when we went to the church.
As a part of learning, Limerick was learned, which is a nonsense, silly poetry, which is believed to be originated since Patrick's time. Children made their own limerick, first,second and fifth lines always rhymes, third and fourth rhymes together and shorter than other lines, like Hickory dickory dock....
We looked at how Irish people celebrate this feast day. They go to church and afternoon is for celebration.. Some of their favorites are Irish coffee, cheese caramel puddings. Children putting an attempt to make Irish coffee (but we made it without whiskey and cream; which were the main ingredients; so you can imagine our Irish coffee, but children did their best to make coffee by themselves and enjoyed drinking black coffee.). Even towards the end of the day, I saw them dressed up and acting the story of Patrick and little Ben with harp, whom was their favorite.
