Reopening of school after summer vacation

Summer vacations are the most awaited time of the year for every student in their life. Summer vacations bring a lot of chances to get involved in many things that we have been hoping to do. It reminds me that holidays are more useful if you utilize them properly by doing something useful.

Moreover, summer vacations offer every student a chance to take a break from their daily routine, enjoy their present time with their family and friends. Students eagerly wait for their summer vacations every year. They always hope of doing something worthy that liberates them from the regular routine of studies and habits.

Summer vacation is a time for relaxation and fun, but it can also be a time for reflection.

We all know how important it is to spend time with loved ones, get outside, and enjoy the sun. But sometimes we forget to take a look at ourselves and think about what we want our summer vacations to look like.

Tips to Plan Summer Vacations

Here are some simple yet useful tips to plan summer vacations:

• Plan your summer vacations wisely by using it for various activities, camps, and trips.
• Make sure you don’t waste your time and don’t delay your plans.
• Make a list of your plans and schedule them properly.
• Mark in the calendar for the days you want to go for a trip or camp.
• Plan a schedule for activities such as swimming and hiking.
• Join hobby classes immediately to learn something new by the end of your vacations.
• Think about the activities you want to engage in and try to indulge in them during summer vacations.

Summer Vacation Ideas

Planning a Trip: Plan a short trip to your favorite location to relax and rejuvenate yourself after the yearlong labor. Choose any new or your favorite location to travel and have fun with the family.

Summer Camp: Summer vacation is the best time to stay active and enjoy yourself with friends. Do a bit of research in the local newspapers and magazines to find out about various summer camps and choose the one that best suits your interests.

Go Swimming: It feels great to go swimming in the cool pool water for relaxing and rejuvenating during hot summer days. I enjoy going for swimming with friends and playing pool games.

Hobby Classes: Try learning something new and fun. Join hobby classes like singing, dancing, painting, photography or whatever activity interests you. This will be the most fun way to spend your vacation doing what you actually love.

Enjoy Nature: During school days we don’t get enough time to enjoy the scenic beauty of nature. Summer vacation is the best time to take a long walk in nature and smell some roses or plan a camp in the local park with siblings and friends.

Classic Film and Shows: If you are spending the vacations at home the best way is to rediscover classic films and TV shows. Organize a pajama party and enjoy your favorite movies and shows.

Explore the Options in the City: Get out and get going, explore your city clubs, art and science museums and parks etc. If you love shopping visit malls and your favorite shopping stores with your friends and check out for the new collections.

Go Biking: It is super fun to go biking in nature to enjoy the weather. It is also the best exercise for your body. You can also visit your friends riding a bike.

Returning to school after summer break

Adjust your sleep routine one week before going back

The summer holidays often means getting up late and staying up even later!

So, when it comes to going back to school, it’s no wonder that you often feel sluggish and don’t have the same motivation you did before you broke up for the holidays.

What we recommend is that you try to get back to your normal sleeping pattern one week before the start of the new school term. This means that by the time school starts, you’ll already be used to getting up early.

You’ll be amazed at how much a good night’s sleep can help you concentrate and make you feel better.

Stock up on new school supplies

There is one good thing about going back to school…new stuff!

I mean, how can you expect to get good grades if you don’t have a new set of pens, a new schoolbag and new wardrobe?!

By restocking your school supplies, you’ll feel more motivated to get things done. Although motivation is all about attitude, sometimes a little bit of the superficial can help too.

We recommend that you start looking for your new supplies early. Most people leave school shopping to the last minute and we all know that the good stuff goes first!

Set yourself a goal (and reward) for the year

One of the best ways you can motivate yourself for the new school year is to set yourself targets. These can be academic goals, social goals or anything in between.

Whatever puts a spring in your step is a goal worth pursuing.

If you’re taking your GCSEs or A-levels this year, then it can be a good idea to write out a list of all your subjects and what grades you hope achieve. It’s important that you keep your goals realistic so that you don’t sell yourself short or set yourself up for disappointment. By documenting your goals on paper, you’ll have a physical record of what you’re aiming for, which means you’ll be more likely to actively pursue them.

Although goal-setting is important, so is recognising when you’ve achieved them. Although you may not know what grades you’ve got until the end of the year, you should reward yourself every time you meet one of your milestones. Whether you reward yourself by going out for pizza or buying something that you really want, feeling good about your achievements is what it’s all about.

Organise your timetable

Are you one of those students who is constantly asking their friends what class they have next? If so, then your goal this year is to be more organised!

One week before you go back to school, make the effort to get your timetable sorted. Every school issues timetables differently, so make sure you know how to get yours. Sometimes you’ll have to login to your school account and other times you’ll need to go into school to check noticeboards.

However your school arranges your timetable, make sure you have yours ready before you start back.

As the saying goes, ‘start as you intend to go on’.

If you want to be more motivated, more organised and more sociable this year, then you need to be at the top of your game and that means taking responsibility for the things that you have in your control.

Plan to try new activities

Going back to school isn’t just about studying. It’s also about learning new skills and improving the ones that you already have.

The chances are that your school offers a heap of activities that you never even knew about. Why not make the effort to be more involved in school clubs, sports or committees? Not only do extra-curricular activities look great on your CV, but they open you up to new experiences that help build character and confidence.

And it doesn’t just have to be at school that you get involved in new things. How about trying that dance class that you’ve always fancied, or joining that Sunday league football team that your friends are a part of?

Keeping active outside of school is just as important as being active in school.
