This is a fun art project for a class. I have created an easy mini printable paper kit, which you can print out and assemble and create a class of mini lucky leprechauns. The pack comes complete with printable leprechaun kits, and a step by step PowerPoint presentation show you and your class how to assemble these wonderful men. I really hope you like them as I have dreams of making them for lots of different occasions throughout the year! It is a fun way to celebrate St Patrick's Day on 17th of March and make sure every child in the class has something nice to bring home with them.

Saint David is the patron saint of Wales. I have created a presentation which could be used either in the classroom or as part of a school assembly. This presentation links to a YouTube video which explains the day. I have also added a virtual walk around Saint Davids (the birth place of Saint David), provided some key facts about the day, links to a quiz and some Welsh themed colouring sheets. St Davids Day is an important celebration. Learn why the Welsh like to wear leeks on this day, and the significance of the daffodils.

Pancake day is also known as Shrove Tuesday. This Pancake Day presentation covers the history of pancake day, and a complete recipe of how to make your own pancake, complete with pictures. The Pancake Day presentation ends with a fabulous Pancake Day quiz to make sure the children were listening carefully. This presentation could be used in the classroom, printed out as an instant display or used as a whole school assembly.

Information Gap 1 - Looking for a Job Get the students working in pairs. Give one person of each pair the Student A page and the other the Student B page. There are four different jobs being advertised in the local paper. However, there are ten gaps on each page. Students should ask each other questions to find out the information that is missing from their page, then write it down, asking for spellings as necessary. Encourage them to communicate verbally to get the answers, rather than letting each other look at their pages! When all the students have finished, bring the group back together and ask checking questions to elicit the answers, as well as to find out how much the students have understood about the other material in the adverts.
