Christmas break, 2027
The Christmas break runs about two weeks. Ten minutes of English or maths a day, with a Christmas Day off, keeps recall warm without making the holiday feel like homework. Our packs are grouped by year band and include festive themes alongside the standard skills.

A two-week break is long enough for children to lose recall on the maths facts and writing routines they had at the end of term. Ten minutes a day, mixed with festive themes, keeps the learning gentle rather than absent.
Most primary schools in England break up in the third week of December 2027 and return in the first week of January. Two weeks at home, with a Christmas Day break in the middle, is the typical pattern.
Five to ten minutes a day across four or five days each week is plenty. Pick one English and one maths sheet, themed where you can. The goal is gentle continuity, not heavy practice.

Recall-heavy basics: times tables, phonics if your child is in Year 1 or 2, and short writing tasks. Skip new content, stay on familiar ground.
