Flor de la Noche Buena!

Mrs Adlard's and Mrs Kerr's P.6 classes have been learning all about ‘The Legend of the Poinsettia’. This Mexican legend tells of a girl who could only offer weeds as a gift to Jesus on Christmas Eve. When she brought the weeds into a church, they blossomed into the beautiful red plants we know as poinsettias, known as Flores de la Noche Buena in Mexico (Spanish for "flowers of the holy night").
