OK, so this week was the first week of term - new year, new start, or so my 9 yr old says!
It was surprisingly easy to get back into the routines - early to bed, early to rise - but of course, as usual we were on the last minute when it came to actually leaving the house. There was no homework for the kids this week, and that was a welcome relief for all of us. There's nothing more tedious than battling with primary age children to get their homework done when everyone's had a long day at school or work, and nobody really cares about decimal places or the religions in India - at least not right at that moment...
Is homework really needed at the age of 6, anyway?
With the term starting, so did the football - so every Saturday and almost every Sunday for the next 8 months, we're up early for the kids' football training and matches. Good result for the under 10's last week, 0-0 draw away against last years league winners. Naturally the under 7s and the under 10's have matches in different places, so we'll be splitting up on Sundays to takethe kids to their respective matches. personally I feel the 'off season' is too short!
