Just 4 days until St David’s day on March 1st 2011
Its that time of year where parents are searching around for items to dress their children in traditional Welsh costumes.
The creative skills are unleashed on creating that ‘Dragon sculpture’, writing a Poem or learning a song for the schools eisteddfod.
