St. Patrick’s Day- at Bream Bay Kindergarten
"May your troubles be less and your blessings be more, and nothing but happiness come through your door"
St. Patrick’s Day occurs annually on March 17 in observance of the death of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. What began as a religious feast day in the 17th century has evolved into a variety of festivals across the globe celebrating Irish culture with parades, special foods, music, dancing, and a whole lot of green.
Well that is exactly what happened today. Our friend Aiofe and her mum Tracey asked if we could acknowledge St Patrick's day because it is apart of Aiofe's culture. That was not the only reason we celebrated St Patricks today, we also wanted to acknowledge all our families that also have Irish heritage.

We arrived at Kindergarten wearing as much as we could find. We had green paint, green play dough and green glitter all over the floor. We had a parade and a dance and as a special treat Aiofe's mum read to us a lovely story from Ireland.
To complete our celebration we had a shared kai of green food which included green iced biscuits, green cupcakes and green pancakes and for our healthy choice we ate broccoli, celery, green dip and we drank kiwi fruit juice.
Instead of sandwich day today we had potato soup. Potatoes are the national food of Ireland.
