In the borough newhwam most of the schools are getting two weeks off. but thats because Newham is a big indian/asian area and divarli and edi and ramadam fall around the same time. absynthfairy 21-10-2005, 08:44 Lucky. We break up today, we go back a week on monday. Praise be. owdlad 21-10-2005, 08:50 Don't forget that the teachers have to go to "training days" aka let's have a jolly up while the kids are away days.....The poor things need a rest away from those nasty kiddies. :rolleyes: absynthfairy 21-10-2005, 11:18 Training days are far from a "jolly up" trust me. They are usually 6 hour meetings about whatever the latest "hot topic" for improvement is and invariably results in us having to draw a fish to test our "learning style" etc.... We have to be in earlier and leave later... NOT FUN!!! Lexxy 21-10-2005, 15:41 Hey im not complaining !an extra 2-3 days of school!! it dont bother me, but uselly when theres a big event comeing up ie xmas or summer! we finished today cus im in Y11 but we useually go back ona monday! execpt at beggining of year which was ona thursday! highly annoying when i could have had another 2 days of sleep and its cus of teacher training day! i think when we have TTD, nature is on our side and its our way of getting our own back on the teachers!! haha they ahve to go to work and we dont! lol sorry for ranting on Bye xx Rich 21-10-2005, 16:17 Not sure if it's still the case, but in my day we had a week off for half term, and then for some unknown reason they'd have a "Baker day" on the Monday so we didn't go back till Tuesday, WTF?! Not that I minded the extra day off cos I hated school anyway for reasons I find traumatising to discuss even now, 13 years since I left... Lexxy 21-10-2005, 17:30 lol yeah yewlands school had baker days! but i dont know why they call them that! i prefer TTDs!! much better and u sound really old lol! sorry "im my day" lol neway lol Thanxs xx |
