The first day of the month of May is known as May Day. It is the time of year when warmer weather begins and flowers and trees start to blossom. It is said to be the time of love and romance. It is when people celebrate the coming of summer with lots of different customs that are expressions of joy and hope after a long winter.
Traditional English May Day celebrations include Morris Dancing, crowning a May Queen and dancing around a Maypole.
Although summer does not officially begin until June, May Day marks it's beginning.
May day celebrations have their origins in the Roman Festivals of Flora, Goddess of fruit and flowers, which marked the beginning of summer. It was held annually from April 28th to May 3rd.
Enjoy the long weekend everyone!

You have five school days left until the SATs. I hope that you are all revising and practising your times tables. Remember, all the work that you put in now will pay off in your results! If there is anything that you are not sure of please ask Mr Beukes, Miss Fouche or Mrs Langridge and I am sure that they will be pleased to help you!
Good luck everybody!
