I think the social stuff is more important at their age. School work can easily be caught up on (you can even request some worksheets to take). Im with everyone else, start school then go. And take me with you.

We are having DS1 start Prep next year and he will go for 2 weeks then we will be off to american for 4 so he will miss school.
Have they gone to this school before? Are you more worried about the work they will miss? Maybe you could set up a skype date with a good friend or even the teacher for a quick rundown of what they have been doing so they can do some?
Have a great holiday x

One of the best learning tools for them is to keep a diary. By writing in it every day they are combining alot of different styles of learning and they become more focused of what is around them.
The start of the year has alot of things for them to learn and they are also getting to know a different teacher.
If you want them to do 'school work' give the teacher plenty of notice as the start of a schoo; year is very busy

Thanks Rivlas. I was actually thinking of making them blog their trip for school just a few minutes ago. Our librarian knows a blog site for children that needs a password to view so I was going to hit her up for the URL.
We usually know who the teachers for next year will be by the end of the year so I might be able to let them know before the summer holidays start.
