Your healthy eating is like the bread and healthy spread of what you are doing... it carries on through the month and is your main focus. You'll look at books about food, talk about healthy food, make a wall display, stick pics of healthy vs unhealhty foods to paper plates, celebrate Fruity Friday, look at the Healthy Heart stuff on the internet, make fruit & veg jigsaws, grow something, measure it growing, make veg soup together etc etc...
The mothers day stuff will meet lots of areas of learning and development as well and you will do that around the right date, keeping healthy eating in the background... you'll probably want to do a quick plan on mothers day, so you see that you're meeting all 6 areas of L & D, but if children don't do eveyrthing because their interests take them elsewhere then fine.
Similarly with St Pat's day - you'll do a quick plan to show how the activiites spread across the areas of L & D, then get on with finding out about rainbows, making prisms in water, eating pots of gold (hang the healthy eating), wearing green, reading leprechaun stories, looking at Ireland on the world map, talking with bad Irish accents and learning to say 'hello' in Gaelic...
Sounds like a fun month for you! :D
