St David's Day in Lesotho

St David’s Day in St James Primary, Maseru.
St David’s day was celebrated with the children during the morning parade( we call it assembly).
I told the children why St David’s day was so important to Welsh people and one of the stories about him. The story was the one about him preaching to a large crowd. Unfortunately not everyone could see or hear him. A cloth was placed on the ground and immediately St David stood on it a hill grew. This meant everyone there could now see and hear him speak.
From the pictures you will see that some of the teachers are using umbrellas.

 It was not raining at the time, but very sunny and hot despite it being 8.00 in the morning. They use the umbrellas to provide some shade. Can you remember what the weather was like on 1st March, St David’s Day in Wales? If your teacher was using an umbrella I don’t think it was to provide shelter from the sun.
