Months

The names of the months in English come from the Romans. The name of the first month, January, comes from Janus (the Roman god of doorways and bridges!). Janus has two faces, because he looks back at the old year and forward to the new year. The second month, February, is the month of Februa, a special festival. The third month, March, (the first month in the Roman calendar) is the month of Mars, the god of war.

The fourth month, April, comes from the Latin word aperire (opening), and the fifth month, May, comes from Maia, the goddess of plants and animals. Juno, the goddess of marriage and birth, gives us the name of the sixth month, June.

The names September, October, November and December come from the Latin numbers for seven, eight, nine and ten, but in fact they are the ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth months of the year. The seventh and eighth months are, of course, July and August. They take their names from the Romans rulers Julius Caesar (the dictator) and Augustus Caesar (the first emperor of Rome).

Foxwood is a great school and we all like it. We think some of the school rules are OK, but some are terrible. Why do boys have to wear ties? Girls don`t have to wear ties! Why must girls wear skirts? Why can`t we all wear jeans at school? And most important of all – why aren`t there any rules for teachers?
