It seems most schools etc are finishing for the summer holidays about now. It must be the strangest End of Year ever. No parties, prize-givings, fetes or sports days this year. In fact, no 'real' school for most children most of the time.
I wonder how they will look back on this summer?
I was talking to one of my SILs yesterday and she was saying one of her twin grandchildren is due to graduate this summer - her twin brother is doing a 4th year - no parties, no graduation ceremonies or celebrations. We both feel sad for her!
I know Plant's lovely GS has had to change his plans, and no doubt many others have too.
My GS1's one year College course consisted of just about 1 ½ terms then nothing! Just a write-off in effect. GS2 is somehow, like all other Year 10s going to have a lot of catching up to do for GCSEs next term.
My GDs, much younger, are both in school tomorrow for their last day - but only part-time, and the timings mean DIL will be spending a lot of time waiting around as the timings combined with closed pathways and one-way routes don't work in their favour. What a sad end of term.
