Yes I have a lovely table too.

When I want to check on DGC's school dates. I just go onto the school website and find the table with the dates.

Chill.

It's usually on Facebook. Several county councils, and schools, have a little video of happy children to remind parents of holiday dates.
They always have the written format on their websites.

In the current day and age, where this generation of parents is used to picking up information from videos etc, it's a good idea.

My DGD's school produces clips, and there's always hundreds of views showing, so people must be using this method of communication.

Mini Video's what?

advertising the schools, the kiddies reading from some sort of script or doing potted nativity plays.

Or a teacher popping up listing whatever the school has to offer.

The County Council used to publish a straightforward list of the schools terms throughout the year.

Now the list has turned to marketing, it seems.

Next? A full-scale Hollywood production.
