Šakotis – A special cake for a special occasion

A special cake for a special occasion!

Room 14 were honoured today with a visit from some very special Lithuanian guests.  We learned lots about life in Lithuania and we were treated to a very special cake, Šakotis. This cake is used for very special occasions like weddings, christenings, special birthdays or anniversaries. A Lithuanian Mom read a lovely story to our class in her own language and Mrs McGale read it in English. A Lithuanian teen told us all about her life in Lithuania before moving to Ireland.  Here is a picture of the special cake before we ate it.  It was delicious! To our Lithuanian visitors we say: Aciu Uz Viska! (Thank you for everything!)
