Swap your holidays. Obviously.
We worked all Easter so we did what any sane person would do and booked to go away. A fab week in Centerparcs where we spent a lot of time doing PE (improving our swimming, cycling and bowling) but I'm not all heart and I made K&W do their maths work every day.
For literacy we read books and it's amazing how much education you can find in a menu - there are nouns, adjectives, adverbs a-plenty to identify, replace and define. Enter synonyms and antonyms. All over the joys of a crepe suzette.
Other opportunities were mathematical - scoring for bowling, crazy golf, pool. Working out remainders for the balls left on the table and fractions for how many reds Vs yellows. The boys took control of some money for a quick brush up on coin value and working out the cost and change due at the checkout.
So many opportunities and a fantastic break away.
A week back before we headed abroad to stay with friends. It was amazing - too much to list but for K&W it was their first time on a plane, first time abroad, first time using different currency... we had the most incredible time and a huge confidence boost especially for W who expanded his own boundaries in trying new things.
The history was mind blowing; mostly Roman but some later. We did castles, ruins and the amphitheatre.
