school summer holidays

ChasingButterflies

Our lot have the usual 81/2 weeks, although we normally go away for 2 weeks near the end this year we need to go away in the first 2 weeks as I won't be allowed to fly after that :rotfl: Number 4 is due the week after our lot go back to school

I love the holidays tbh - no rushing, if we want to still be in pj's at lunchtime we can, if we want to bake all day we can, fancy a late lunch? no problem! I forgot the most important bit - no homework!

One thing that won't be happening is mummy teaching everyone to do cartwheels :rotfl: This year I think we will go for gold medal level sleeping lions Thinking about it our lot are 8,6&4 so I guess are still at an age where they are easy to entertain?

Tired myself out thinking about it - lets hope the third trimester is one full of energy!

eta : anyone who has to throw a work schedule into the mix in my opinion deserves a medal... We are lucky to be able to take the view that it is all very relaxing if I had to work and find activities to keep the kids entertained through the hols I would be a nervous wreck *hat off to all the working mums (and dads)*

My DD gets exactly 8 weeks off. I'll look forward to the break but with some trepidation because it is a long time to fill with new activities everyday. In reality I know the time will fly by and I won't be ready for the start of the new term.

my son only goes to pre-school but will be starting school in september how scary my baby's not a baby anymore.

i live local to the beach so most of the summer will be spent on bike rides along the beachs and nice long walk and picnics i love the summer holiday because although he only goes to school in the afternoon it ruins the whole day because i dont drive i can't go or do anything and he usually has a nap at this time (which he is now at the moment) so by the time he wakes up its lunch time and school so roll on summer i say!

Don't you have anything better to say than small-minded xenophobia?

why are you on a british based website if you are in Poland this isn't much help to you is it?

and also do you have children because you didn't understand the first post at all.

in the U.K i have alway been lead to believe if have nothing nice to say say nothing at all.

It's a long time since our son had to have school holidays, but myself and my husband had to have them for over twenty years as my husband was a Teacher.

After four years of his early retirement, we still find it amazing that we can go on holiday in June!

Oooh, I love the school summer holidays, but then that's because I'm a SAHM for the time being, I sympathise with those parents who work.

We go camping for most of the summer, mainly with other mums and kids, but OH also takes a week off work and we go away as a family. The kids have a wonderful time exploring and making new friends. I bought a new tent at the end of september which I only got to use for one weekend before winter set in so I'm looking forward to this summer more than ever.

Polish Big Spender is most definately a troll, a disrespectful rude person, who quite simply does not like british people at all from what i can see, it was only yesterday, she was taking great delight on another thread at calling british people scum, she should have been banned from here ages ago. !!
