Pancake Tuesday
Pancake Tuesday is the day before Lent. In Ireland, everyone eats pancakes on that day. They are made of flour, milk and sugar and are fried on a pan on top of the cooker.
In Oristown pupils have no homework on Pancake Tuesday.

St. Brigid's Day
In Ireland we celebrate St. Brigid's Day on 1st February. St. Brigid is one of the three patron saints of Ireland.
The children make a St. Brigid's Cross. The Cross is made from rushes. The rushes are woven together to make a cross like the one in the picture.
It brings good luck when it is hung in the family home or in the sheds with the animals.
