Objectives: to read for mam ideas, to introduce information about music festivals in the UK

Work with the picture. Ask PP if they can guess which country the things in the picture come from. They learned about Welsh national costume in class so they should be able to answer. You can tell them about the dragon and the harp.

Then PP read the letter about the music festival in Wales and say what activities Lucy saw there.

Culture Note

The dragon is the symbol of Wales and is on the Welsh flag, the harp is the national instrument of Wales and the leek is the national vegetable. A bard is a poet.

After you have checked the answers you can draw PP attention to the information at the bottom of the page in the Classbook. If your PP have access to the internet in your school, they could try and find out how to say the name of the longest place. Warn them that Welsh does not sound at all like English!
