Half term is in sight.
Just this week to get through and then the children have a week off, and they are really ready for it. This term feels like such a long one, and both Rhys and Nerys seem a bit worn out.
Nerys is still adjusting to being at school full time and I think year 3 has been a big adjustment for Rhys too.
We had a little taste of half term last Friday though when there was an inset day at school.
The weather was absolutely gorgeous so we ended up heading to Cwmdonkin Park to meet up with some friends from school. It was just what we needed. A quiet, lazy start to the day and then a long afternoon spent running around the park.
The friends we met up with were from Nerys’ class at school but Rhys coped really well with being the oldest one there.
He played for a while with the younger ones, then happily played by himself on the climbing frame, pushing himself again to be brave and climb to the top. Later on the afternoon one of his friends did come along too which he was happy about.
They ran off to play football together, pushing me to be brave and let him out of my sight now and then.
The rest of our bonus long weekend was pretty standard and low-key.
A visit to the local library, a walk to the shops, swimming lessons and a trip to the little park on the way back home.
Another one of those perfectly normal weekends.
Now we just need to get this last week of school done and we can all relax a bit over the half term holidays!
Is it half term already where you are or do you have another week to wait like us?
I hope the week goes by really fast for you. I think it’s half-term here this week!
I love both these pictures – they both look so happy and what a lovely sunny day! I hope you make it through the rest of the week, we’re on half term already and the boys were definitely ready for it 🙂 #LivingArrows
We’ve just had half term and it’s been lovely. The weather has been gorgeous and the girls were definitely ready for it. I hope you have a lovely week with your 2 x
We are just finishing our half term now although I could do with another week off! These photos are beautiful I hope some Autum sunshine comes back soon. Have a wonderful half term xx
I find it so weird how half term varies around the country – I’m not sure we could have survived another week before ours were off! Have a great half term! x
