Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland - but he was, in fact, British.
Festivals and Celebrations in Britain 2
This quiz addresses the requirements of the National Curriculum KS1 History for children aged 5, 6 and 7 in years 1 and 2. Specifically this quiz is aimed at the section dealing with studying British festivals, traditions and celebrations.
In KS1 children will be taught about some of the festivals followed in Britain and this is the second of two quizzes covering the subject. A nation as wide and diverse as ours has a lot to celebrate. Some traditional British celebrations can be traced back over hundreds of years. Young children love traditions and celebrations and they may be familiar with many of our festivals, so studying them can be fun!
