Primary School, czyli szkoła podstawowa w Wielkiej Brytanii jest jednym z
dwóch etapów kształcenia obowiązkowego w Szkocji, Anglii, Walii, czy
też Irlandii Północnej. Nauka rozpoczyna się, gdy dziecko ma 4-5 lat i
trwa siedem lat.
Szkoły są czynne 190 dni w roku. Rok szkolny podzielony jest na 3
części. Nauka rozpoczyna się 1 września i trwa do ok 20-23 lipca ( w
zależności jak to wypada mniej więcej w kalendarzu ). Pierwszy trymestr
trwa do połowy października. Wtedy to przypadają pierwsze ferie trwające
5 dni.
Drugi trymestr trwa od końca października do połowy lutego, ale w
połowie przypada prawie dwutygodniowa przerwa świąteczna, oraz 5 dniowa
przerwa w lutym po której dzieci wracają do szkoły.
Trzeci trymestr trwa do końca roku szkolnego. W trakcie trzeciego
trymestru przypada kolejna przerwa świąteczna, tym razem wielkanocna,
trwająca około dwóch tygodni. W czerwcu wypada kolejna przerwa i trwa 5
dni.

Quick Facts
Epiphany, or Twelfth Night, marks
the visit of the three wise men, or Magi, to Jesus and Jesus' baptism,
which was performed by John the Baptist. This event is observed in the
United Kingdom on January 6 each year.

Monday, January 6, 2014
What do people do?
Some Christians attend special church services on January 6. Figures
representing the three wise men, or the Magi, are placed in some crib
scenes on Epiphany. This is especially true of crib scenes in or close
to churches or church schools.
People in the UK remove their Christmas decorations from their homes,
schools and workplaces on or before Twelfth Night. Many people believe
that it is bad luck to display Christmas decorations after January 6.
Decorations in town centers and shopping malls may stay on display for
longer, as it can take many days or weeks to remove them all. The lights
in these decorations are not generally turned on after January 6.
Some people hold Twelfth Night parties. They may serve a hot spicy
punch called wassail or a Twelfth Night cake. A Twelfth Night cake
usually contains one whole dried pea and one whole dried bean. The
people who get the pea and the bean in their portion of cake are crowned
king and queen for the evening.
Public life
Epiphany is not a bank holiday in the United Kingdom.
Burns Night is annually celebrated in Scotland on or around January 25. It commemorates the life of the bard
(poet) Robert Burns, who was born on January 25, 1759. The day also
celebrates Burns' contribution to Scottish culture. Burns' best known
work is "Auld Lang Syne".
What do people do?
Many people and organizations hold a Burns' supper on or around
Burns' Night. These may be informal or formal, only for men, only for
women, or for both genders. Formal events include toasts and readings of
pieces written by Robert Burns. Ceremonies during a Burns' Night supper
vary according to the group organizing the event and the location.
The evening centers on the entrance of the haggis (a type of
sausage prepared in a sheep's stomach) on a large platter to the sound
of a piper playing bagpipes. When the haggis is on the table, the host
reads the "Address to a Haggis". This is an ode that Robert Burns wrote
to the Scottish dish. At the end of the reading, the haggis is
ceremonially sliced into two pieces and the meal begins.
Public life
Burns' Night is an observance but it is not a bank holiday in the United Kingdom.
Background
Robert Burns was born in Alloway, Scotland, on January 25, 1759. He died in Dumfries, Scotland, on July 21, 1796. He was a bard
(poet) and wrote many poems, lyrics and other pieces that addressed
political and civil issues. Perhaps his best known work is "Auld Lang
Syne", which is sung at New Year's Eve
celebrations in Scotland, parts of the United Kingdom, and other places
around the world. Burns is one of Scotland's important cultural icons
and is well known among Scottish expats or descendants around the world.
He is also known as: "Rabbie Burns"; the "Bard of Ayrshire";
"Scotland's favourite son"; and in Scotland "The Bard".
Robert Burns' acquaintances held the first Burns' supper on July 21,
the anniversary of his death, in Ayrshire, Scotland, in the late 1700s.
The date was later changed to January 25, which marks his birthday.
Burns' suppers are now held by people and organizations with Scottish
origins worldwide, particularly in Australia, Canada, England, and the
United States.
Symbols
The Scottish flag is often displayed at Burns' Night celebrations. It
is known as the Saltire and consists of a rectangular blue background
with thick white bars on the diagonals. The diagonals form a cross that
represents Saint Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland.
At Burns' Night events, many men wear kilts and women may wear
shawls, skirts or dresses made from their family tartan. A tartan was
originally a woolen cloth with a distinctive pattern made by using
colors of weft and warp when weaving. Particular patterns and
combinations of colors were associated with different areas, clans and
families. Tartan patterns are now printed on various materials.
Many types of food are associated with Burns' Night. These include: cock-a-leekie soup (chicken and leek soup); haggis; neeps (mashed turnips or swedes) and tatties (mashed potatoes); cranachan (whipped cream mixed with raspberries and served with sweet oat wafers); and bannocks (a kind of bread cooked on a griddle). Whisky is the traditional drink.
The New Year's Eve and New Year's Day celebrations in Scotland are known
as Hogmanay and may last into January 2, an annual bank holiday. This
holiday is marked with parties, specially prepared foods and the custom
of first footing.
What do people do?
Hogmanay celebrations generally begin in the afternoon or evening of New Year's Eve and continue into early hours of the New Year's Day morning. Some family gatherings or private celebrations organized by groups of friends may continue through to January 2.
In some areas, the custom of first footing continues on January 2.
First footing refers to when someone is the first person to enter a
house on January 1. For many people in Scotland, January 2 is a day to
recover from the Christmas and Hogmanay celebrations or to spend some
quiet time with friends or family members before returning to work on
January 3.
Public life
January 2 is not a bank or public holiday in England, Wales and
Northern Ireland. However, January 1 and 2 are bank holidays in
Scotland. Banks and post offices are closed. There may be limited public
transport services or none at all. Some stores and businesses may be
closed.
If either or both of January 1 and 2 fall on a Saturday or Sunday,
the bank holidays are moved to the next week days. For instance, if
January 1 falls on a Saturday and January 2 on a Sunday, the bank
holidays are moved to January 3 and 4.
