Perhaps there is nothing happier for schoolchildren than a vacation in November. Finally, the first quarter is behind. After the summer holidays, it’s hard to get involved in school, and the days are still warm. As the teachers say, the first quarter is always a buildup, the inclusion of children in the learning process. But regardless of interest in school subjects, children want to go on vacation again.
Vacation time
Learning is primarily a job consisting in preparing for lessons, completing homework, sometimes causing difficulties for students. Vacations are a vacation from all of the above. Therefore, this is always a welcome period in the life of students. But for parents you need to know the dates of the holidays in order to plan in advance the time for a joint rest or decide where to go on vacation for a child on a vacation tour in November. Five-day tourist trips for schoolchildren are almost always on offer from travel agencies.
Parents need information about vacation time to monitor their child’s success. Usually, children have a tendency to leave everything for later, and all tails, especially among high school students, are pulled up a week before the holidays.
Information on the period of study and rest of schoolchildren is submitted by the Ministry before the start of the school year, based on the Law on General Secondary Education.
The structure of the 2017-2018 academic year
Traditionally, the beginning of the school year is September 1, the end is no later than June 1. The stipulated vacation time, according to the Law “On General Secondary Education”, is 30 days of rest during the school year. The time allotted for the holidays can be increased due to force majeure circumstances, such as a sharp drop in temperature in the winter, quarantines for schools, emergency situations.
The estimated vacation schedule, according to past experience, for the current school year will look like this:
- Autumn holidays usually begin from the last days of October and end in the first days of November; in fact, vacations in November last 9 days;
- winter holidays have a longer period of time, usually two weeks, which begins before the New Year and ends by January 10th.
- spring rest is nine days, the beginning of which in the last days of March and until April 1-2.
- summer holidays, the most beloved and long-awaited, begin after the last call in schools and last until the next school year.
The final decision on all dates of the holidays is made by the teacher's council of the school. Therefore, in different cities (not to mention countries), schoolchildren can spend their vacations in November at different times.
Autumn holidays in children's camps
Autumn vacation, which will last nine days, is the time when, after a long summer vacation and vacations, new circles, interest clubs begin to work, interesting city events are held. The main thing is not to be lazy, but to join in the search for an interesting and useful vacation. To help parents organize children's vacations, you can take advantage of some of the suggestions of children's leisure organizations, repeated every year during the children's holidays in November. The main thing is that the child should be interested.
Having accepted the offer from the Fantasy League sports and educational camp near Moscow on the basis of the Vozdvizhenskoye Park Hotel, the children fall into the children's camp for several days of autumn vacation with a sports and entertainment program. Here, it will be interesting for them to engage with coaches in the pool, learn to play tennis, train and participate in competitions in the rope town and quadro-park. The guys will rest and gain strength before the upcoming studies.
Autumn shift at Voila
Creative children’s camp “Voila”, offering holidays during children's vacations in November, is located in the Chekhov district of the capital. During the time spent in the camp, the guys will reveal their creative potential thanks to a team of trainers. Each child will have the opportunity to try himself in such proposed areas as theatrical, intellectual, active-play. Will pass trainings on various topics. He will be taught how to behave in stressful situations, will learn the elements of yoga. There will be an opportunity to practice ballroom dancing. The main thing is that the guys will get all these skills and knowledge in the game, which is especially important.
Interesting autumn break programs
Many interesting programs are provided for holding at a time when students have vacations in November. On the Kiev highway, the Liga Escalibur camp with historical themes awaits children. Children will enjoy live action games such as archery and sword fighting. At the autumn shift, teenagers learn computer programs and process photos and videos, participate in competitions for the best work. Children work in daily workshops to create 3D software modeling. This is a modern direction, and children are interested in doing this.
Zvenigorod offers children during their school holidays in November to visit the EnglishFun language camp. Children will enjoy lively communication, games and traditions of other countries and virtual travels through them. This camp is a territory of fun English. And the most interesting event is to celebrate Halloween carnival, participating in song contests in English. It would seem a game, but how interesting it is for someone to try to learn a new language for him, and for someone to practice and learn new words and poems in a playful way.
What to do on vacation for high school students
They do not expect advice and suggestions from parents, as they themselves can organize their leisure time. High school students have their own circle of communication and certain interests. This can be spent time with friends in the rope parks at the rides or participation in bike rides and sports competitions organized during the autumn holidays. For some, it will be interesting to try yourself at the Olympics, which are usually held during the holidays, while someone will devote more time to classes with tutors.
High school students do not refuse to rest abroad in camps with their peers. As many of them say, this gives good language practice not only to English, which is spoken by almost all youth, but also to the language of the country where a high school student goes to during the autumn holidays.
Summing up, it is worth noting that vacation time can always be spent with benefit in any locality and in any country. The main thing is to have a desire not to sit still, but to develop even on vacation.
