This week our theme has been the country of Wales! We located Wales on a map of the United Kingdom and coloured in its flag. We then watched a video on the heritage of Wales. The national flower of Wales is the daffodil, which also happens to be one of my favourites, so we decided to decorate our kitchen windows by painting them on and the children made some daffodil sun catchers. We also sewed some daffodils with ribbon hoops to hang in our kitchen. We found out about Mary Jones and her desire to have a Bible of her own. In history, the subject this week was the Welsh Revival. Our family has enjoyed singing some Welsh hymns; Guide me O Thou Great Jehovah, Calon Lân and Here is Love Vast as the Ocean. To reflect the theme of the Welsh revival and God's love, our memory verse for the week has been John 3:16. The children found out about coal mining in Wales and in particular children working in the mines. We designed our own love spoons and Nathanael wrote an acrostic poem about Wales. Wonderful, Welshy, Wales. A Welsh dragon... so beware! Lunch is leek and potato soup (welsh cakes for pud) Evan Roberts and the revival too, Slate and coal mines and the Welsh Mountain Zoo! We have enjoyed making and eating Welsh cakes, Leek and Potato soup and Bara Brith. So much fun!

You can’t celebrate St David’s Day without a batch of Welsh cakes too. They are simple to make and taste divine, especially when warm. It’s lovely to bring some colour into the house. As well as colourful daffodils, did you know that leeks are a well known Welsh symbol? I found this fun craft for kitchen paper leeks which I know my children would love to make and then use in their play kitchen. How about making some Welsh ladies bunting to decorate the house? I found two versions, one with cheery faces and googly eyes and more Welsh ladies bunting based on sweet Russian nesting dolls, both would brighten up a room. I also like this fun St David’s Day bunting printable. I haven’t forgotten the children and […]

The giving of lovespoons dates back to the 17th Century. Traditionally, they we given by young men to young ladies in the hope that they would lead to courtship or engagement. If the young lady accepted the spoon she was accepting the young man's interest.
