May Day
May Day, the name popularly given to the first day of may, has been celebrated in Europe for many centuries. May Day festivals/celebrations were usually held in honour of Flora, the Roman Goddess of flowers and marks the reappearance of flowers during the spring. May Day is also celebrated in many European countries as a labour holiday for workers and is therefore sometimes called Labour Day.
Here at Dogsthorpe Infant School we celebrated May Day on Friday 1st May 2009. Parents joined us for our celebrations where we crowned our May Queen and there was displays of dancing from both our Dance Club and Country Dance Club members.
