Easter School Holiday Madness
Schools used to have four days off leading up to Good Friday, then the Easter Bank Holiday weekend followed by the Tuesday to Friday afterwards.
Now the children have Good Friday and Easter Monday off and return to school, only to have a fortnights holiday a fortnight later.
This means that they get two days extra holiday - great for them and their teachers but not so great for those of us who have to worry about childcare.
It means that schools have to field some of the Easter expectation excitement and the chocolate hyperactivity as they return after Easter Monday.
But the Easter holidays had activities and days out built around the Easter treat theme. Now Easter will be over and done with and children will then have two weeks off to fill with no particular holiday aim or purpose and in weather that isn’t that great.
It could work out, or it could be an absolute pain. I’ll keep you posted.
