I really don't want this to become a slagging off for 'hot-housing kids' type thread, but it's a genuine question.
Was talking to another Mum who said that she finds her children 'slip backwards' in reading/ handwriting/ maths etc over the long summer holiday (we get 8 weeks) unless she gets them doing bits and pieces over that time.
We've encouraged the kids to do a 'holiday diary' type thing in the past - sticking a few photos/ tickets/ brochures etc in a book and writing a few lines, but not much else really.
DS2 would probably relaly benefit from playing a few maths type games etc regularly.
What other sorts of things do you do?

Do you get your children to do any 'written' type work over the long summer holidays?
