Holidays… or working holidays?

Iona and Joe have broken up from school. They now have 9 weeks of uninterrupted, well almost uninterrupted, play…

Holidays...What holidays?
Holidays…What holidays?

To this end, in every supermarket, you will see racks and racks of “Cahiers de Vacances”, for every school year, from the Maternelle (age 3) to the Terminale (final year at college, age 17-18).

These workbooks consolidate the school syllabus and are designed to highlight any issues that your child may have.

Should there be any problems, there are specific workbooks available for each subject, say, French grammar, maths, etc…

Editor’s Note

Ah, the “Cahiers de vacances,” those summer staples for French kids! Imagine a mix of holiday vibes and a dash of schoolwork, all wrapped up in one colorful booklet. These aren’t your typical boring textbooks; they’re more like a fun challenge to keep your brain ticking over the summer. Each booklet is packed with puzzles, games, and exercises that cover everything from math to French grammar, tailored to your next grade. It’s like a sneak peek of the year ahead but in a chill, laid-back way. French parents swear by them to keep the learning going, making sure the summer slide doesn’t get the best of their kids.
