and it's pouring with rain and freezing cold outside.

I've got nine 12-year-old boys in the playroom. They're terribly well behaved, but the stench is overpowering. Wet clothes, Lynx, BO and feet. Nice!

I can't believe they've finally started. The Sixth Class were in bits leaving the school though.

Also have many boys but have tossed them out into the rain in the hope that the stench will diminish!

scotland course

Ireland

School holidays in Ireland too - we always feel sorry for our English cousins if there is a hot July. (If!)

ah. ireland course

That's right, I forgot. There were loads of irish on our camp site last year

Scotland.

Why do they start so early? How long are they off?

they don't start early , you lot start late

they last 7 weeks and it'd better not pour for the 7 weeks or we'll go demented up here

Ours don't start until NEXT friday and dd is done in. We only had a long weekend in May over the bank holiday, this term seems so long. We also only get 6 weeks but get 2 weeks in October.

lilliput 2 weeks in october is FAB. i had that when i taught in aberdeen. was gladly give up a week of the summer for longer in october. ah well. can't really complain!

We don't stop till Tuesday.

Dd finishes next fri (scotland) and I realised with a shock today that I'm going to have to actually feed her during the day - school meals are brilliant .

our schools closed on Friday too. heres hoping for some dry weather pleassse!

Holidays here too (scotland) and the weather is good Not fantastic put perfectly good playing in the garden weather. I love the summer holidays

Ours don't start until 23rd July.... still got all those fetes and sports days and parent's evenings to go yet!
