Last Tuesday, Irish people celebrated St Patrick’s Day. Amandine and Angèle told us a little more about this very popular celebration:

For the occasion, some pupils wrote limericks, which are humorous poems of five lines, in which the first, second, and fifth lines rhyme with each other, and the third and fourth lines, whichare shorter, form a rhymed couplet. They’ll post them on the blog very soon!

Pancake Day

Before the holidays, we celebrated Pancake Day (aslo known as Shrove Tuesday) with Emile and Antoine, who even cooked pancakes for the occasion! Thank you guys, you made our day!
