CARNIVAL 4ESOD: THE WINTER IN IRELAND

Dear students,

As you know, we have chosen Ireland in winter as a topic for the Carnival day on 5th February.
I have decided to post some information about the typical characters of Ireland such as The leprechauns or Molly Malone in order to know more about the Irish culture.
If you click here you can listen to Molly Malone's song.

Remember to bring the material resources which are necessary to make the costumes next Wednesday (26th January), please.

Do you know that...

 A shamrock is a young sprig of clover, used as a symbol of Christianity in Ireland. Saint Patrick, Ireland's patron saint, is said to have used it as a metaphor for the Christian Holy Trinity.^[1] The name shamrock comes from Irish seamróg, which is the diminutive of the Irish word for clover (seamair) and means simply "little clover" or "young clove.

I will appreciate your participation, your interest and your collaboration. 

Thank you in advance.

Sherlock Holmes (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)

In addition, you have the opportunity to know more about the writer:
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
