A Message from Lindsay...
Welcome to our new subscribers!
Every time I send out a newsletter I get one or two messages from subscribers asking me why I haven't included this or that in it. The answer is almost always because we already have it on the website!
Please do remember that this newsletter is only a taster of some of the newest additions to the website - and that there is so much more to explore if you click through! For example, in March alone you might want to check out Spring and St David's Day and Pancake Day and Mardi Gras and Dr Seuss's Birthday and World Book Day and Commonwealth Day and St Patrick's Day and Shakespeare Week and Holi and Spring Equinox and Nowruz and Mother's Day (UK) and Mothering Sunday... and that's just from the Seasons and Holidays sections! There is always a list of "upcoming" holidays and events at the bottom of the newsletter to refer to.

What's New at Activity Village
The sphere, cube, cuboid and pyramid are the first four 3D shapes taught with this new collection of printables and worksheets.
Did you know that Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is the longest place name in Europe? This and other fun facts in our new "Learn about Wales" section!
With St David's Day coming up, we thought it might be fun to learn something about the Welsh love spoons tradition.
These new Welsh-themed puzzles might come in useful. (Many more on the website)
We've added new handwriting worksheets, acrostic poem printables and story paper to our Wales worksheets collection ...
... and we've also added more St David's Day printables
This week we've been learning about a new Famous Person - David Attenborough. We've got some interesting conservation worksheets too.
Shelly's kids have created some fabulous masks using our mask printables and templates. Real inspiration for Mardi Gras, or any time...
Rita and her children have been enjoying some of our pen and paper games and share the rules for their Ultimate Tic Tac Toe game!

“A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”
