Blwyddyn Newydd Dda! This week we are learning about some old Welsh traditions. In some parts of Wales they celebrate New Year on January 13th Yr Hen Galan. Children would knock on the door of their friends and family and sing a song. ( we definitely can't do this at the moment!). They would then be given some money as a present! Children would also carry a decorated apple called a 'perllan'.
Extra Challenge; Can you make an information sheet telling children the different ways the New Year is celebrated? Share with me vis e mail LecrassC@hwbcymru.net or share on J2E. Diolch.
