A tradition in France is to celebrate the arrival of the kings (les rois) at Bethlehem on 6 January.
A special cake called une galette made with puff pastry and almond paste. We cheated and used a sponge. Inside the galette there is a figurine called une fève.
The youngest child sits under the table while mum cuts the cake. He says who each portion is for. The person who gets the fève is king or queen for the day and wears a crown and chooses a queen or king. They invite the others to eat the cake. Elaine was king and chose Ann to be queen.
We sang lots of songs some of which are on this page below.
Next week we will start on food.
