Wow. That's a lot of bullshit!
Yes to putting term dates on there and maybe a holiday if you're lucky to have booked one but the rest of it? Trips? Performances? Going in to see books? What uniforms they need on special days???? She must have a super organised school as we usually get some info every half term for the following few weeks. That's about it.
And parties? Surely most people only do those a few weeks in advance? So we have a couple at the end of half term but that's it for now. Plus parties tend to decrease as they get older so my 5 year old is at the stage of all-class parties every few weeks but my 9 year old just has celebrations for her little friendship group now - only about 5 or 6 through the year.
Blooming heck. There are 4 kids plus myself who works shifts and my husband's work to take into consideration here and 'doing the calendar' took about 10 mins at the start of the month
The mind boggles
