The British flag
The Union Flag (known as the Union Jack ) is the national flag of the United Kingdom.
The flag was first proclaimed by James I (James
VI of Scotland) in 1606 when he inherited both the thrones of England and
Scotland and sought to create a flag combining the two crosses of the
respective nations. Ireland was later added in 1801 when it joined the United
Kingdom.
It’s Actually Three Flags
in One
The flag is actually made up of the three flags
of England, Scotland and Ireland which are the crosses of each country’s patron
saint.
England: Cross
of St George –Red Cross
Scotland: Cross of St Andrew – White Saltaire
Ireland: Cross of St Patrick – Red Saltaire
Wales is Missing
While there are four constituent countries that
make up the United Kingdom, only three of them are actually represented on the Union
Flag. That’s because technically, Wales is a principality and has legally
always been considered a part of England .
There are 23 countries
using the Union Flag today.
There are still 23 countries around the world –
many small territories or islands – that use some form of the Union Flag in
their design. But there are big ones that still do like Australia and New
Zealand.
Historian
David Starkey said that the Union Flag is called 'Jack' because it is
named after James l of Great Britain (Jacobus, Latin for James ),who introduced
the flag following his accession to the throne.
An Alphabet Fun day
We had so
much fun today .The 3rd graders played two alphabet games and enjoyed a lot!
Beat the
clock
First the
class was divided in two groups .Each group had the alphabet flashcards (one
group the capital and the other the small letters). They raced to put the alphabet
flashcards in order. They had a second
try with the other set of letters. They tried really hard to beat the
others .
Do the puzzle
Then , still in the same group ,they had to do the letters’ puzzles and find out the animal that was formed.
