New timetable

So finally decided on a new timetable with more flexibility for outdoor learning across the summer our new summer timetable runs April to end may with summer holidays starting the start of June as our new baby is due around then :) then back to school still on our summer timetable until the start of October so timetables don't change mid week. Across the summer structured topics they study are optional to allow making the most of outdoors play and learning across the good (I hope) weather this is thirteen weeks around the long summer break and new baby then in October the winter timetable starts with eleven weeks before Christmas hols then January to the end of march on the winter timetable before back to summer timetable in April. The winter timetable will be more structured hopefully combatting boredom being indoors with the bad weather. At the moment we study in two and a half hours of structured work a day five days a week in the summer this is flexible in the winter it will be two and a half hours five days a week with an extra two or three, two and a half hour sessions alternating weeks offset from the summer timetable if they have done structured work across the summer timetable they won't do all of these so basically across a year we have three weeks more holiday than my daughter at school but only Christmas and summer no half terms, more outside time and less structure across the good weather ( fresh air, sunshine, play and fun) then structure in the winter with set topics and we still cover across a year the same home school hours on structured topics as we do now but there's something to suit all of us.
