St Patrick anyway!


      Hoy es un Día de San Patricio bastante atípico, nuestro departamento ya tenía programada una actividad que desde nuestro programa de bilingüísmo estamos intentando integrar en nuestra programación anual a este respecto. Desde nuestro centro, como la gran mayoría de centros en Andalucía, estamos usando distintos recursos para continuar con nuestra tarea de forma telemática de la manera más efectiva. Esta semana era la elegida, evidentemente, para la celebración de nuestra gymkhana con motivo de la efeméride irlandesa de más tradición mundial, así que desde nuestro blog haremos un pequeño homenaje a Irlanda y la fecha más vistosa de su calendario.



      The world turns green on this day, Irish spirit fills pubs and parades around the world but our current situation makes this celebration different today.  We can say this year we are playing a different role to celebrate Saint Patrick´s Day, he was taken to slavery by pirates and we are enslaved to stay at home just to overcome this extraordinary episode we are going through, I am sure we will get it soon. Anyway we can have our St. Patrick´s at home, with our family our on our own: dress something green, learn about Irish traditions and sing and dance some Irish songs (anyway probably you were not going to visit Dublin today).

     Do you know why Saint Patrick? Who was he? I have found this funny video:


     Our program includes an exciting contest to be held today, in groups with questions about legends, geography and history of Ireland, including a dancing event and a karaoke competition unfortunately this time had to be cancelled. One of the songs chosen for that last part of the game, the singing moment, is Dreams by Cranberries, a beautiful tune for these strange days we are living, let´s listen to it and dream on everything we will be doing in a couple of weeks with friends and the people we are looking forward to meeting again. I hope you all are ok!!!
