St David’s day ideas (Dydd Dewi Sant) 1st March – patron saint of Wales

Make a daffodil using egg cartons
Look at, discuss and tear apart leeks
Make leek and potato soup
Make a Welsh flag (ensuring the dragon is looking left!!)
Talk about dragons and myths
Discuss why David is the Patron Saint of Wales
Talk welsh!!!!!!
Good morning - bore da (that's bore pronounced phonetically not bore as in English)
plant - children
pob - all (pronounced powb - think phonetics)
so, bore da plant, bore da pob - good morning children, good morning all.
Make cards

Leek printing

Observational drawings of daffodils

Castles and dragons

welsh cakes http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/da...es_67264.shtml and bara brith for snack www.red4.co.uk/Recipes/bara-brith.htm
look at pictures of children in Welsh costume.

Could also make daffodils - Egg box cups, yellow crepe paper, card and paint and green straws and card. Cover the egg box cups with yellow crepe paper, cut out circles of yellow card and cut in to make the pointed petals, but so it is in one piece and glue the egg 'cup' to the centre. There's your flowerhead. Attach to a straw using tape and further down the straw attach a long blade-like leaf or 2 cut from the green card.
