Easter Cakes and Traditions in Welsh Schools

In the Early Years the children enjoy an Easter hunt. This involves the children looking for chicks or chocolate Easter Eggs around the school grounds.
We also make Easter hats or bonnets, nowadays often bunny ears or flower crowns but it used to be a tradition to wear a new Easter bonnet to church or chapel a few years ago!
