Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day


Also known as 'Mothering Sunday', it is a time when children pay respect to their Mothers. Children often give their Mothers a gift, flowers and a card.

It is on a different date every year because it is celebrated on the fourth Sunday in 'Lent'.

I do hope that all 'mums' have a wonderful day!

March 1st, St David's Day.

Celebrated in Wales in honour of Dewi Sant or St David, the patron saint of Wales. Many Welsh people wear a daffodil which is a national emblem of Wales.

John Perry Primary has two teachers that are from the 'Land of Song', Wales.

Do you know who they are?

Facts about February

The Snowdrop





February, along with January, was introduced onto the Roman calendar by Numa Pompilous when the calendar was extended from ten to twelve. The word February comes from the word ' Februa' which means cleansing or purification, and reflects the rituals taken before spring.

In Shakespeare's time about 400 years ago, the second month of the year was called 'Feverell'. In Isaac Newton's time one hundred years later it had become 'Februeer'. The modern name, February, is only about a hundred years old.

12 - 14 February were traditionally said to be 'borrowed' from January. If these days were stormy, the year would be favoured with good weather: but if fine, the year's weather would be foul. The last three days of March were said to be borrowed from April.

The flower called snowdrop ( pictured above) appears in February and is a symbol of hope. According to legend, the snowdrop became the symbol of hope when Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden. When Eve was about to give up hope that the cold winters would never end, an angel appeared. She transformed some of the snowflakes into snowdrop flowers, proving that the winters do eventually give way to the spring.

14th February is St Valentines Day.
Each year in Britain, we spend around £503m on cards, flowers, chocolates and other gifts for Valentine's Day. Traditionally these were sent anonymously, but now-a-days we often make it clear who is sending each 'Valentine'.

16th February is Shrove Tuesday, this marks forty days before Easter.
In the UK, Shrove Tuesday is also known as Pancake Day (or Pancake Tuesday to some people) because it is the one day of the year when almost everyone eats a pancake.

17th February is Ash Wednesday.
Ash Wednesday is a Christian festival. It marks the beginning of six and a half weeks of repentance, fasting and abstinence in preparation for the most important Christian festival of Easter.
