March Classroom Theme Ideas

Today I’m sharing some March classroom theme ideas with you all! Can you believe March is almost here already?! This school year feels like it’s going so fast… and yet so slow at the same time. I do love March.. for many reasons.

1. It’s my birthday month.
2. It’s our Welsh celebration.. St David’s Day.
3. You can just feel Spring coming. More sun, longer days, lighter nights. All of that is coming!

And also because there are just some great themes you can do in the classroom in March. And today, I’m going to share my top 10 March themes with you.

1. St David’s Day

St David’s Day is an annual celebration taking place on the 1st March every year. It celebrates the patron saint of Wales, Saint David. You can check out some of our favourite St David’s Day activities that we do below;
