National Grammar Day Activities
Learn a new grammar rule
Is there a particular grammar rule you always feel like you have to double-check? Use National Grammar Day as your excuse to finally memorise that pesky grammar rule! (One we are always looking up: lay versus lie! How to remember it: you lie down on the sofa, but you lay the book on the table!)

Get out your red pen
Newspapers and magazines go through several rounds of copy edits, but mistakes nearly always make it through. Celebrate National Grammar Day by acknowledging that no one is perfect with grammar, even the professionals! Read through your favourite magazine or newspaper with your grammar antenna on and your red pen at the ready to catch any mistakes. And what to do when you find one? Nothing beyond a big red circle and a smile.

Have a grammar party
Invite your friends over for grammar games! Play pin the apostrophe on the “it’s”; read out examples of the most hilarious grammar mistakes from the Internet; and stage a discussion on one of the greatest debates in the English language: the oxford comma, yay or nay?

📚 Dealing with Exam Stress: Tips for Young People and Parents 📚

😟 Exams can be tough. Feeling stressed, worried, or overwhelmed is completely normal. But with the right support, it’s possible to manage the pressure and stay confident.

💡 Tips for Young People:

🗣️ Talk about it: Share how you feel with someone you trust — a parent, teacher, or friend.

⏰ Plan your time: Balance study, breaks, meals, and sleep to stay on track without burning out.

🌿 Look after yourself: Exercise, get fresh air, eat well, and take time to relax.

💬 Be kind to yourself: Exams are important, but they don’t define your worth.

💡 Tips for Parents:

👂 Listen and reassure: Let your child share their worries without judgement and offer encouragement.

📌 Offer practical support: Help them organise materials, set realistic goals, or create a quiet study space.

💛 Stay calm and encouraging: Your calm presence and support can reduce anxiety and boost confidence.

🤝 Remember: It’s normal to feel stressed and it’s okay to ask for help. Working together can make the exam period feel more manageable and less overwhelming 🌟.
