English + Social Science + Physical Education

Last 17th March we celebrated SAINT PATRICK'S DAY at school. This day comes traditionally from Ireland, but it is celebrated in the whole United Kingdom and also in other English Speaking countries, like it has been done since centuries.

JOSH, our wonderful language assistant, has been in charge to explain our students why this day is celebrated in his country (Northern Ireland) and the reasons to celebrate it (mixing English with Social Science). The children were very intrigued during his explanations and learned a lot about Ireland:






It was an amazing idea to combine English with Physical Education, using CLIL methodology, where my students had a lot of fun during their P.E. lessons learning a traditional Irish dance for this day. Here you are the video, where the whole school is dancing for Saint Patrick's celebration! It was a great day for everyone (the teachers enjoyed a lot, too)!:



Thank you, Josh!!! ☘☘☘☘
