help with St. David’s day ideas

[thinkfun]

just started next months planning, but can't think of any PD activities that can be linked to St. David’s day, any ideas!!!!!

[The Juggler]

when we were at school we used to dress up as welsh ladies and do a dance - a bit like a maypole dance but without the pole - you could youtube or google some music and dance to it.

or making your crafts if it includes gluing, handling, scissors etc is PD

Daffoldils in a vase then just give them paper, paint brushes and green paint and yellow paint, usually end up with paintings that look like dafs

For fine motor skills Welsh cakes - recipe here - Involves rubbing in, mixing, rolling out and cutting rounds (you don't have to use lard!)

Gross motorskills - folk dancing/clog dancing as Juggler says or moving like dragons and lambs. Big heavy movemnets for dragons and light bouncy ones for lambs. Could also do salmon or trout movements and paddling a coracle.

some great ideas, thank you

I love the welsh cake idea, I will definitely do that with mindees

Had another thought - What about traffic lights in Welsh? Different areas have different words for things so mine is local to us!

Stopio - stop
Aros - Wait
Mynd (as in WIND mill) - Go
Araf (arav) - slow
cyflym (cuvlim) - fast

Some other movements

Cerdded (cur-thed) - walk
Rhedeg - run
neidiau (neigh-dy-eye) - jump
eistedd (ishteth) - sit

That's a fun idea - we always make welsh cakes - yummy! we decorated wooden spoons as love spoons last year too!
