Grade 5/6 have been writing acrostic poems about St Patrick. Here is the poem that we wrote as a class. Grade 5/6 share your poems here. To our visitors do you know any facts about St Patrick that you can teach us?

St Patrick,

The patron saint of Ireland and Melbourne,

Patrick is his name,

And we celebrate on the 17th of March,

To celebrate people dress up as leprachauns,

Really it’s a laugh for young and old,

If you find a 4 leaf clover it is lucky,

Celebrated around the world,

Kicked out the snakes from Ireland.
