The days of the week:-
There are seven days in the week.
We usually work for five of them. We call these five days "the working week".
Many people take two days off work, we call these days "the weekend".
Monday is usually the first day of the working week. Friday is usually the last day of the working week. Sunday is considered a day of rest.

Prepositions
For days we use the preposition "on".
For example:
We run reading sessions on Mondays, and Wednesdays.
I love it when my birthday is on a Saturday.
!Note - Days always begin with a CAPITAL letter.
