St. George legend.

Long time ago, Montblanc’s town was devastated by a fierce dragon that could fly, walk and swim. It had a so poisoned breath that it could produce the death to everyone who breathed that air.
That dragon killed the flocks and people were terrified. Worried for this situation, Montblanc’s citizens thought to give everyday a person to calm down that beast. The problem was to find a person which wanted to sacrifice their life.
It was after a long discussion when the people decided to draw for everyday a life. That was the way finally they did it, and they had results because the abominable beast stopped wrecking things.
But one day the luck fell over the princess. That princess was very beautiful, nice and smart and she was loved by everyone, and many people offered their self to supply her body. But the hurt king was strict and fair, and thought his daughter was like everyone.
The beauty princess went off the castle while everybody looked at her with pain. But while the princess was going to the dragon hiding place, a young knight with a bright armor and riding a white horse run to save the princess. He stocked his sword in the beast and killed it.
Suddenly from the blood of the beast started to grow a rosebush with very red roses. The knight cut a rose and gave it to the princess.

Gracias/Diolch, Samuel, Ingrid & Rosa

Thank you so much for creating this Blog. It really brings what we are doing to life!

We have a week off school next week for Half Term. As soon as we are back we will get on with the next stage of our project and include posts on the Blog.

We have St David's Day on 1 March, which is Wales's national day. We have competitions, songs, art and poetry, with the top poet among the children receiving a special accolade. He/she gets to sit in a special chair and have his/her poem read out, and is proclaimed Bard of the Year. This ceremony is very old as is called the Chairing of the Bard. The competition is called an Eisteddfod - 'eistedd' means 'to sit'. Children wear national costume and everybody wears one of the national emblems of Wales - a daffodil or a leek. I hope we can include some photos on our Blog!

Very best wishes from Wales!
Dymuniadau gorau o Gymru!
