About this deal

Many anniversaries have special names. Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics and at Home by Emily Post, published in 1922, contained suggestions for wedding anniversary gifts for 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, and 75 years. [10] Wedding anniversary gift suggestions for other years were added in later editions and publications; they now comprise what is referred to as the "traditional" list. Generally speaking, the longer the period, the more precious or durable the material associated with it. KS3 groups will be interested to learn that 11th February is the anniversary of Henry VIII being recognised as Supreme Head of the Church of England in 1531 - a key event in the Reformation and a pivotal moment in British history. If your students are studying Medicine Through Time, a school trip to London offers the opportunity to learn more about the life and work of Florence Nightingale at the Florence Nightingale Museum. June For all its clever technology to aid economy and emissions - delivering a claimed 48.7mpg and 131g/km of C02 riding on 18in wheels as this edition does - it’s not the most perky of 2.0-litre petrol engines. Acceleration is linear and up to scratch, but doesn’t have the verve through the range that smaller petrol engines in the Volkswagen Golf or Ford Focus do. The spec sheet says it achieves 0-62mph in 8.2secand a top speed of 134mph. Dodrans is a Latin contraction of de-quadrans which means "a whole unit less a quarter" ( de means "from"; quadrans means "quarter"). 175 years is a quarter century less than the next whole (bi)century (175 = 200 − 25). [1]

And on 16th April it will be the 80th anniversary of Warsaw Ghetto Uprising – a key event in the Holocaust and the largest single revolt by Jews during the Second World War. On 26th January, it will be the 75th anniversary of the assassination of one of the most influential figures of the 20th century, Mahatma Gandhi. Killed by a Hindu nationalist, Gandhi is considered by many Indians to be the ‘Father of the Nation’ and was a proponent of non-violent protest. Probably [ attribution needed] a modern coined term: semi- (half) × quin (5) × centennial (100 years) = 250 years. Used by Brown University in 2015. [5]

Probably [ attribution needed] a modern coined term: quartoseptcentennial; literally one-quarter (quarto-) × seven (sept-) × 100 years (centennial)—also quartoseptcentenary. [3] In Latin, it seems that this rule did not apply precisely for 1 + 1⁄ 2. While secundus is Latin for "second", and bis for "twice", these terms are not used such as in sesqui-secundus. Instead sesqui (or ses) is used by itself. Over 500 people joined us to hear the fantastic music. A huge thank you to Artistic Director Anthony Friend and Stage Manager Fergus Marr for their support.

Term is broken down as quasqui- (and a quarter) centennial (100 years). Quasqui is a contraction from quadrans "a quarter" plus the clitic conjunction - que "and". The term was coined by Funk and Wagnalls editor Robert L. Chapman in 1961. [2] January – Julius Caesar was granted the title Augustus marking the beginning of the Roman Empire in 27 BCEMost countries celebrate national anniversaries, typically called national days. These could be the date of independence of the nation or the adoption of a new constitution or form of government. There is no definite method for determining the date of establishment of an institution, and it is generally decided within the institution by convention. The important dates in a sitting monarch's reign may also be commemorated, an event often referred to as a "jubilee".

Wedding anniversaries are also often celebrated, on the same day of the year as the wedding occurred. Sesquarcentennial is a modern coined term; sesquarcentennial for 350 years is deduced here from the " Sestertius" definition for 250 years above. For 350 years it relates to being halfway from the third to the fourth integer; thus a contraction of semis (halfway) and quartus (fourth); hence Sesquarcentennial. Semiseptcennial is probably [ attribution needed] a modern coined term: semi- (half) × sept (7) × cen(t)- (100) × centennial (350 years). Dosquicentennial has been used in modern times and this is perhaps a modern contraction of "de-quadrans". [1]

It was also the event that really brought Hitler to the attention of the wider German public. Your students can learn more about this and the subsequent rise to power of Hitler and the Nazis on a history school trip to Munich or Berlin.

The later Act of Supremacy of 1534 confirmed the King’s supremacy over the church and required the nobility to swear an oath recognising this. June is the 78th anniversary of the Normandy Landings, which can be brought to life on a school trip to Normandy. Stay in self-contained accommodation designed for school and youth groups just a stone’s throw from the beaches where the landings took place and explore the many fantastic museums and attractions in the area that bring the event to life. Now that we’ve gone beyond the centenary of the First World War, it’s more important than ever to keep the memory of this destructive period of human history alive in future generations, so they don’t repeat the mistakes of the past. On a WW1 battlefields school trip to the Somme, your students will learn more about this deadly battle and will experience what life was like in the trenches of the Western Front.
