The school holidays have now started and thousands of students are already planning how they ar going to spend their six weeks off. The school holidays are not just for the students though, teachers need a break also and the six weeks off can be a great time for them to recoup and relax before the new school year starts.
There will still be a certain amount of planning, marking and setting up that will need doing during the holidays and if not planned in correctly can make you not be able to switch off or leave everything to the last minute making you have to rush about.
Ideally you should take a few days at the start of the holiday to complete all your marking and then a few days at the end of the holiday to prepare your classroom and plan the first week’s work for the children.
