GNS: Slippery Traps for Leprechaun Traps
Posted on:
Elementary schools across the Division were busy the week before Saint Patrick's Day trying their skills in building leprechaun traps; a children's craft project used to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day. The "traps" are set up the night before St. Patrick's Day, and children awaken to discover signs that leprechauns have visited the trap.
At Ecole Jasper Elementary, Mme. Beauchamp's kindergarteners worked together in teams on a STEM challenge to plan, build, and present leprechaun traps to keep their classroom safe from mischief. Throughout the morning, students were actively engaged in this hands-on activity, fostering collaboration and creativity in a fun and educational way. Mrs. Walker's class at Fulham School made some fantastic hats last week and Miss Marshall's class created some traps to try to catch a leprechaun, using boxes, lots of tape, and a "gold" coin to lure him in. The next morning when the students returned to their class room, they saw that all of their traps had been sprung and the naughty leprechaun left a trail of shamrocks and a joke on each desk!
Ms. Adelman’s Grade 1 students at Mary Bergeron Elementary in Edson arrived to find that their classroom had been destroyed over the weekend. They were disappointed to find their leprechaun traps empty, that tricky little leprechaun! Better luck next year, Grade 1!
