March 3rd is World Maths Day, is a chance to put your skills to the test, practice math skills and to get involved in a worldwide event that celebrates the history of maths. This is a competition run through Mathletics.
March 20th is World Story Telling Day, where you can celebrate the art of oral storytelling. It's also a day for people around the globe to listen to, and tell stories in as many different languages as possible. Most of us go through the day engaging in oral storytelling without even realising that we are doing so. Have you made up a bedtime story for your child? Told a friend about your most embarrassing moment? or retold a childhood memory with a sibling? These are all oral storytelling examples.
World Poetry Day is 21st March. This is a day to encourage people to read, write, teach and publish poetry, and to recognise the amazing cultural contribution poetry makes to the human society. Poetry is another form of story telling, and has been used for centuries to pass along knowledge, history and information. The ancient Bards travelled around the countries, taking their stories, in verse format, to share.
(Oh, and February 14th is Library Lovers Day - just saying!) 😉
