Have you been enjoying a longer half-term?

As we reach the end of October, lots of kids in the UK will be thinking about half-term - but for some children and teachers, they'll have two weeks off instead of one.

This is because some local councils and school partnerships in England have chosen to extend the autumn half-term after speaking to teachers and parents to see if they think it's a good idea.

They say this is to help reduce the amount of illness, which can cause pupils to miss school, and help support wellbeing.

To make up for the extra time off in autumn, the local councils and school partnerships have said they would either take a week off the summer holidays or add extra time to one school day a week.

So, what do you think? Are you having a two-week half-term?

Do you think it's a good idea? Or do you love having a longer summer holiday?

Let us know in the comments below.

Unity Schools Partnership decided to bring in a two-week half-term in its eight primaries in Norfolk, after a successful trial run last year.

The partnership already operates a two-week holiday in its Suffolk schools.

Local councils, including Nottinghamshire, already have two-week autumn half-term holidays, and Surrey have said they will soon try them out.

In England, schools that are funded and controlled by the local authority must make sure they have at least 190 days of education a year.

Other schools, including academies, free schools, foundation schools and voluntary-aided schools, have more freedom to set their own term dates.

Have you been enjoying a longer half-term? Are you using the extra time for anything special?

Or would you prefer a shorter break?
