🎅 Hump Day Hack: Keeping Track of the Christmas Term Madness! 🎅
It’s that time of year again — when school calendars turn into a festive minefield of jumper days, carol concerts, class parties, and “bring in something sparkly” requests! 🎄✨
💡 This week’s hack: Create a Christmas Term Command Centre!
Grab a big family calendar (or stick a sheet of paper on the fridge) and write down every carol concert, christmas jumper day, and nativity play. Use a different colour for each child — and keep a “school bag checklist” next to it for all the bits that go missing at 8:45am. 🎒
Bonus tip: Snap a photo of the calendar on your phone each Monday morning, so you can check it on the go. No more panicked “was it Christmas lunch day today?!” moments! 😅
You’re doing brilliantly, even if the glitter has now taken over your house. ✨
