Happy St. Patrick's Day !!!

Щорічно 17 березня у світі святкують День святого Патріка – релігійне і культурне свято, яке відзначається в день смерті покровителя Ірландії. Вважається, що святий Патрік вигнав з острова всіх змій і приніс в Ірландію християнство. Свято символізує прийняття Ірландією християнства, а також є днем ірландської культури в цілому. Воно було засноване католицькою церквою у XVII столітті і відзначається не тільки на території Ірландії, але і по всьому світу не тільки ірландцями . До дослідження  історії свята долучилися і гімназисти . Учні 4(8) А класу взяли участь у  інтелектуальному брейн- рингу присвяченому саме цьому дню . Учасники двох команд "Rainbow" та "Shamrock" виконували різноманітні завдання. З невеликою перевагою перемогу здобула команда "Shamrock" 
 Учні 4(8) - 7(11) мали змогу спробувати свої сили у онлайн квесті . Абсолютним переможцем стала учениця 5(9) класу Лі Лілія .Вітаємо!!!

Activity 4: St. Patrick’s Day collage

Have you ever made a collage? Collage is an art form in which the artist takes a number of images and/or words and puts them together on a piece of paper, in a frame or on a screen.

Usually, you cut and paste images and sentences from magazines, but you can also make collages on your computer. All you need is a word processing program, PowerPoint, or a website editing program (like WIX).

In this activity, you will make a collage about St Patrick’s Day. How would you like to celebrate that day? Let your collage reflect how you would like to celebrate it.

Start by searching for images that you can include. Try searching Google Images for images related to St Patrick’s Day, Ireland, leprechauns, shamrocks and anything else you feel might help you celebrate! When you see an image or read a sentence you like, save it in your computer. For images, just put the cursor over the image you are interested in and click with your right mouse button if you are using a PC or double click if you have a MAC. Choose ‘Save’ and decide where you want to save the image. For words or sentences, just select the text and copy it onto a document in a word processing program.

As soon as you have a collection of images, open the program you will use to make your collage and paste images wherever you want on the page. You can also add words and sentences if you want. You can edit the images using a photo-editing program and you can edit the sentences in your word processing program (change the size, the font, the colour).

When you finish making your collage, share it with your classmates and explain why it represents your personal view of St Patrick’s Day.
