👁️🗨️ Origin of the Days of the Week
In ancient Greece, each day of the week was to honour a certain god. The Greeks named the days week after the sun, the moon and the five known planets, which were in turn named after the gods Ares, Hermes, Zeus, Aphrodite, and Cronus. The Greeks called "days of the Gods".
Romans took over the custom, but used the names of their own gods: Mars, Mercury, Jove (Jupiter), Venus, and Saturn.
The Germanic peoples generally substituted roughly similar gods for the Roman gods, Tiu , Woden, Thor, Freya, but did not substitute Saturn.

🗣️ SITUACIÓN DE COMUNICACIÓN "Do you like Thursdays?"
- Do you like Thursdays? Why (not)?
Yes, I like Thursdays because it's my favourite subject. My teacher is Maria José. I like sports. My favourite sports are volleyball and basketball. I play basketball with my friends in the school but I don't play volleyball in Physical Education (P.E.). I sometimes play basketball with my brother and my mum in the sport centre. My brother is Juan and my mum is Lola. He is 15 years old and he studies in Hozgarganta High School in Jimena. Jimena is a small town near San Pablo de Buceite. It's bigger than San Pablo de Buceite but I think San Pablo is more beautiful than Jimena.
I don't like Thursdays because I have Physical Education (P.E.). after break (recreo). We usually are angry after PE because
Tomorrow is Friday. It's my favourite school day because it's the last school day. I like school but I prefer weekends because I don't have school and I can play videogames or watch TV in the evening, and I can get up so late!!!!!!!!

👁️🗨️OLD ROMAN CALENDAR: JULIAN TO GREGORIAN
The word calendar comes from the Latin word kalendae.
The first Roman calendar was a lunar calendar (based on the Greek lunar calendars where months begin and end when new moons occur, 29.5 days).
It had 304 days and 10 months starting from March and ending with December.
The second king of Rome, Numa Pompilius ( 715–673 B.C.), introduced the months of Ianuarius (January) and Februarius (February).
