The presentation describes myths and legends and that sometimes myths and legends overlaps. Children learn about some of the mythical stories that are passed down from one generation to the next, e.g. why the leek and the dragon are symbols of Wales and the miracles St David carried out, e.g. making the blind see, why David is standing on a hill with a dove on his shoulder, the legend of the boy who tried to steal pigeons, the legend of the corpse candle.

Listening and speaking during the presentation.

The flexible lesson plan guides you through the presentation or you can just play the presentation which children interact with.

Differentiated gap-filling worksheets:
Worksheet 1 - Children use the words in the box to fill in the gaps.
Worksheets A and B: - Children work in twos and collaborate to complete their worksheet as each child has information the other children needs.

There is a teacher’s copy for the worksheets A and B.

Early finishers - During the presentation the children are given the opportunity to retell one or two of the legends they like best which they oral retell to the class.

When they come to do the worksheets, they recount one of the stories either using a worksheet with story boxes or write a short narrative and draw a picture
