Long Leave

Long Leave (our half term) is coming up at the end of this week. I think we are all looking forward to it but it is terrifying how quickly it has come. The start of term seems like yesterday. I suppose it is because we have been so busy that it has flown by. 

Many schools now have a ten day or even two week half term. I don't see us doing that. The boys are working very well this term and the momentum is building nicely. I would not want to have a two week break and have to start all over again. In my opinion it is far better to have a longer break at Christmas. Christmas is always so busy and the extra time after New Year makes all the difference.
