Throston Primary school pupils were laughing at jokes from fellow pupils in this photo from 2018. And why not have fun on National Smile Day on May 31. They certainly will be in the USA.

8. Love it you will
It was all about Star Wars at Vue cinema in 2008. And if you love it, there's a National Talk Like Yoda Day on May 21 as well as Star Wars Day - and of course it is on May 4.
