With the credit crunch ensuring that many families will choose to holiday in the UK this year, perhaps it is time to celebrate the great British holiday.

Whether you choose to run this project over a week or just a day, involving one class or the whole school, the eclectic mix of activities and competitions for which holiday camps are known will allow lots of scope for cross-curricular links.

Either way, it’s certain to energise children during those last weeks of term!
