Let's sing a song ! The colours of the days
Yellow is for Tuesday
Wednesday is pink, it's a nice day !
Then comes Thursday, everyhing is blue
Friday is green, tonight it's Halloween
Red Saturday
And white Sunday, today it's fun, it's holiday !
There are 12 months in one year
The twelve months of the year are
January /'dʒænʊəri/
February /'februəri/
March /'mɑ:tʃ/
April /'eiprəl/
May /'mei/
June /'dʒu:n/
July /'dʒulai/
August /ˈɔ:gəst/
September /sep'tembə/
October /ɒk'təʊbə/
November /nəʊ'vembə/
December /di'sembə/
There can be 28, 29, 30 or 31 days in a month, but which ones ?
This poem can help you to know and remember them
April, June and November
All the rest have thirty-one
Except for February alone.
And that has twenty-eight days clear
And twenty-nine days in each Leap Year.
