School holiday ideas

[MilkCereal]

Wondered if anyone would like to share School holiday plans and ideas?

My dc 5 & 7 have there first day off today. Planning nothing- paddling pool and garden day. I'm planning to start the decluttering of the house 🙈.
We have a caravan holiday booked in August for a week. Relatives here for a week. 1 day sports club. Two playdates.
The rest of the time is here to fill! I'm school staff so not working apart from the day they're in summer club.
I'm planning the usual swimming, parks etc
What's everyone else doing?

School finished on Friday.

So far we've been to the zoo (season tickets) and PYO farm.
Next week they've got two days of sport camp.
Week after is staying at Grandparents for 8 days
The week after is coming home from first Grandparents, then going to other set of Grandparents. Also going to a cricket match
The week after they are going on holiday with their GPS (caravan holiday)
Then its back to being with me for the rest of the time.

At home days we will do stuff like swimming, shopping, walks in the woods, the zoo or any other free/cheap places i find locally.

Weeve got a couple of camping weekends sorted too.

We've been off since Friday. We've had lots of paddling pool days with water guns and the slippy slide out.
Today we are going to the park for a picnic.
Wednesday we are going glamping for a
Couple of nights in the cotswolds.
The a day out at a dinosaur thing in a park near us.
Two weeks today we are going to Spain until the end of August.

Mine finish tomorrow. We’re starting off the holidays with a long weekend in Whitby, FIL owns a second home there so we stay there quite frequently when it’s empty.

During the holidays I’ve mostly planned free or inexpensive days out such as the local castle, library (there’s a crafty event there one day plus will sign them up to the summer reading challenge as usual), art gallery, museums, local parks etc. Also booking a local maize maze which is crazily expensive but they do always have fun. Weekends we always use our NT or RSPB memberships to explore local sites, thinking about Sherwood Forest one weekend. It’s also DD’s birthday in just over 2 weeks so planned a day out for that, she wants to go rock climbing and trampolining.

It’ll pass by in no time, it always does.

Great ideas. I'm starting to think I should organise a few more outings- we do wildlife park, country parks at weekends so dh can come so I have at least 3 weeks just me and them to fill up!
