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!
