Bollox to holiday homework. The clue is in the name of- holiday. Holidays are a time for fun and rest and family time. If the kids want to do it and enjoy doing it fair enough but I absolutely will not enforce weekend or holiday homework and let’s face it 9 times out of ten the bloody parents will do list of it

Sounds like it could be fun

A ball is a moving toy. Scrunch up some paper. Done.
Or just don’t do it!

Cardboard cut into an animal shape, cut the limbs off and reconnect them back on using split pins…

Sounds horrendous. Good luck with that. Have school sent any suggestions or help home?!

Dreading my 2 getting to the proper homework age!

Oh god that sounds awful. I’d much rather worksheets, fractions or spelling!
