We made it. The summer holidays are finally here.
Well, technically the last day of term is today but the school made it an inset day. I’m so pleased that they did, because going in for just one day at the start of the week would’ve felt so pointless!
Last week was a busy one for the children.
They’ve both been working really hard with all the rest of the school getting ready for a concert that took place on Thursday night.
It was the first time I’d seen the whole school perform together, and it had to be held in the Brangwyn Hall to fit everyone in.
Nerys’ class sang a rousing rendition of ‘Don’t stop me now’ and Rhys sang and signed ‘A thousand years’ with his year group. Each year group did a different song and the whole school sang together a few times. There were also performances from a dance group, the taiko drum club, the orchestra and the school choir.
It was an absolutely amazing evening and all the children were fantastic. They all sang their hearts out and I just felt so emotional watching them. I did well though, and didn’t actually cry at all!
After all the work and energy that went into the concert the children were quite tired by the end of the week, so we had a really lazy weekend. The furthest we went was to swimming lessons then the little park on the way home.
The children have never really gone on the see-saw together for some unknown reason, so it was really nice to see them playing well on it at the weekend.
They’re quite nicely balanced in terms of weight these days so I think it was really fun for them.
We’ve not got too much planned for this week; I’m sort of easing into the holidays with a trip to the local library to sign up for the summer reading challenge and maybe a trip to town or the museum later in the week.
Have your summer holidays started? Are you raring to go or are you taking things slowly this week?
Happy Summer holidays! I too am so relieved that the summer has now arrived.
It is such a relief isn’t it, I’m very much enjoying the lack of school runs in the mornings! x
We still have today and tomorrow till our summer holidays start.
I love this week’s photos of the kids, I really love seeing photos of kids playing in the park but it’s so hard to take a photo without other children in, the see-saw photo is fab.
Thank you! This little park is a funny one, so often we’ll be the only ones there! x
I love the end of term, there is always so much going on! Have a wonderful summer x
It’s such a busy time of year isn’t it! Hope you have a fab summer too! x
The concert sounds amazing. What a great idea. We are shattered to only breaking up on Wednesday. I’m working for the first part of the holidays so don’t have much planned. Sounds like a relaxing start is the way to go x
It was so well done, we were so proud of all the children! The relaxing, laidback start to the holidays has gone well so far! x
Thats a really good idea to have a whole concert in a venue. Our school here is far too big to fit in the hall and so I miss seeing the whole school perform together, like our old school #livingarrows
It was so lovely and so special seeing the whole school perform together. x
The end of term is so busy, its good to have a slow start to the summer holidays. We’ve done the same x
Toby still had school on Monday and Tuesday last week – we were so ready for the holidays! The concert sounds amazing! I don’t think our school do anything like that with the whole school because they don’t have anywhere big enough to fit all the parents in so they always have KS1 and KS2 separate. Hope you’ve had a relaxing first week of the holidays x
