Spring has come this morning, at 6.14, but it seems that we are still in winter! It's raining and raining, and in some parts of Spain is snowing too. Even though we hope that the rain falls down a few days more because we have a terrible drought. But spring is here and our hearts are full of warm feelings. Do you want to read a nice poem about spring? Ok, here you are!

ST. PATRICK'S DAY

Today, 17th of March, it is St. Patrick´s Day, the patron saint of Ireland. That means that everyone has to wear green and hold a shamrock. You can also try to find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, but be careful with the leprechaun! A leprechaun will be taking care of it and he is very clever. If you succeed in trapping one, them the pot of gold will be yours. That´s why many children prepare leprechaun´s traps on St. Patrick´s Day Eve.

Do you want to learn more about this Irish tradition? Do you want to prepare your trap? Have a look at these videos...
