British Values: St. George’s Day: Patron Saint and Celebrations<br />

<br />

<p>The quiz about Wales is linked to an interactive flipboard activity where a picture of the Welsh dragon is gradually revealed as pupils answer questions and flip the corresponding tile if they get a correct answer. A suggestion for using it at a whole class activity is given in the teacher notes.</p>
<p>A text about St David and associated worksheet focusses on what we can be sure of when studying history . The task consists of judging pieces of information from the text and sorting them into columns according to whether pupils think they are historical fact or legend.</p>
<p>Also included in the pack is a wordsearch.</p>
<p>St. Cecilia lived during the 3rd century AD in Rome, Italy. She is one of the most famous Roman martyrs of the early church and historically most discussed.</p>
<p>When she was forced to marry her husband Valerian, a pagan nobleman, she sat apart singing to God - for that she was later declared the saint of musicians. She retained her virginity by telling her husband that an angel of the Lord was watching over her. The husband asked to see the angel. She told him to be baptised by Pope Urban I. After the baptism he saw an angel standing beside her.</p>
<p>She suffered martyrdom along with her husband and his brother Tiburtius, at the hands of prefect Turcius Almachius in the reign of emperor Marcus Aurelius between 176-180 AD. The legend about her death is that she was struck on the neck by a sword three times and lived for three days. She asked the pope to turn her home into a church. She was later beheaded.</p>
<p>Her body when moved in 1599 from the Catacomb of Callixtus to the church of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere was found to be still incurrupt, seemingly to be a sleep.</p>
<p>Over the years a lot of music has been dedicated to her name by many famous composers - see list enclosed.</p>
<p>*A Song for St. Cecilia’s Day * by John Dryden included</p>
<p>My source for information was Wikipedia - a very well thought out source.<br />
Point of information Cecilia can also be spelt Cecity</p>
<p>This resource contains an informative and fully editable 50-slide PowerPoint presentation on the Patron Saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick, and Saint Patrick’s Day which is celebrated on March 17th. The PowerPoint focuses on:</p>

His contribution to the spread of Christianity in Ireland<br />
How Saint Patrick’s day is celebrated in Ireland and in Irish communities around the world<br />
Saint Patrick and the shamrock<br />
St Patrick’s Day traditional meal</p>
<p>The PowerPoint also contains hyperlinks to a short video about Saint Patrick and to the Saint Patrick’s Day celebrations in Dublin.</p>

<p>The initial presentation provides facts and information about Saint Andrew the Patron Saint of Scotland whose feast day is 30th November. Each slide is clear, colourful and presents information simply to promote discussion.<br />
There are two online links: one that shows a short clip about Saint Andrew’s life with an additional one that links to the lyrics and music of Saint Andrew’s Hymn.<br />
The second presentation has a range of activities to allow choice of task depending on the age range of the learners.<br />
They include:</p>
<ul>
<li>a word mat to support factual writing about Saint Andrew’s life</li>
<li>a cut and stick activity with sea background for younger learners</li>
<li>a simple handwriting task</li>
<li>a mind map to support writing an extended report on Saint Andrew’s life</li>
<li>a colouring activity<br />
The first presentation is ideal for an assembly to inform and raise awareness about our Patron Saint and to celebrate his feast day. The activities should follow on after the initial presentation has been shown and discussed.<br />
I have also included a few additional jpeg files to show fellow colleagues a more comprehensive preview.</li>
