Now I know a strategy to finding out how many days there are in all the months of the year!

Today, Summer and I learnt a new rhyme which reminds us of how many days are there in each month. We were wondering how many days there were in November because we were trying to figure out which day the 1st of December would be on. The cause of this was because St Patrick's School was preparing for a party on the 1st of December. We were going to probably play ukuleles during singing carols in front of a HUGE crowd. Summer was saying there was 30 days in November and I kept assuming there was 31 days. So Summer searched up if there was 31 days in November. It didn't really help us when we saw the results, so she searched up 'Month rhymes'. The results was really interesting, so we memorized the rhyme so that we would always know how many days there was in every month of the year. Here is how the rhyme went:

30 days has September, April, June and November. When short February's done. All the rest has 31..

There was also another month rhyme, but we didn't memorize it. If your curious about what this rhyme sounded like here it is:

Thirty days hath September, April, June and November, all the rest have 31. February has twenty-eight, but leap year coming one in four.

If you don't understand what the last part of the rhyme meant, it means that usually, February has 28 days, but after every four years, there will be 29 days. It was really fun saying the rhyme! Our teacher Mrs Dines suggested to blog the rhyme and what you were arguing about, instead of saying it out loud so much. We figured it was a good idea, and started blogging. It wasn't something the whole class was talking about, it was something that just came to mind. I guess I was wrong about November having 31 days. Now I know...
