Irish leprechauns in our school

The children listened to the story of the leprechaun, who has hidden his pot of gold behind the rainbow. The teacher showed pictures to the children. We listened to a song about the story. Each child could make his own leprechaun and they've made a profile about him. Then they told about their leprechaun. They learned about Ireland an filled in some facts at home.
The played a story about finding the gold because Emerald had lost his pot of gold. To say Thank you to all the nice and helpful leprechauns Emerald invited them to his St. Patricks celebration party. The children made lots of decoration stuff and Emerald gave some gold out of his pot.
The children enjoyed and learned a lot about Ireland and the traditions.
I hope it's a good idea for you to celebrate St. Patricks Day on the 17th of March.
