We have the 2021/2022 school calendar, which the government guarantees will be in attendance, so let’s see how the holidays and the opening and closing dates are distributed.

 2021/2022 school calendar

The start date of the lessons has been set nationally for 13 September, but it must always be borne in mind that the school calendar changes from Region to Region and each school can then make its own choices on the beginning and end of the year and on the interruptions between annual.

That said, September 13 is the date identified for the primary and secondary schools, while nursery and nursery schools in some cases leave with the children in attendance as early as the beginning of September.

Having made these necessary premises, let’s see what will be the breaks, valid throughout the national territory, for the school year 2021/2022, and remember that the school in attendance could be for the third consecutive year, strongly conditioned by the trend of the pandemic.

Holidays and bridges calendar 2021/2022

Here are the dates that should be common to all educational institutions:

• opening 13 September 2021 (but it is advisable to consult the regional calendar and the school attended);
• All Saints’ Day, November 1st, falls on a Monday;
• Immaculate Conception, December 8, Wednesday;
• Christmas and Santo Stefano, 25 and 26 December, Saturday and Sunday;
• New Year, January 1st, Saturday;
• Epiphany, January 5, Thursday (this could lead to a return from the Christmas holidays even postponed to Monday January 10);
• Easter Monday, April 18, Monday;
• Liberation Day, April 25, Monday;
• Labor Day, May 1st, Sunday;
• Republic Day, June 2, Thursday (therefore with the possibility that there is a bridge);
• closing on 9 June 2022 (30 June for kindergartens).

Having said that, as we always reiterate, the ideal is to consult the calendar of the school attended, because with school autonomy there could also be variations in the same city.

Children’s calendar

Once you have all the information about the school calendar, the idea of ​​sharing dates and times with the children is an excellent opportunity to work on the knowledge of the division of time into days, weeks, and months. Here are some of our proposals to learn how to “read the time” together and have fun:

• Universal calendar. Magnetic calendar structured in a simple way, in order to allow children to approach the concept of time organization. With a vision of the passage of time from the general to the particular, passing from the year to the season, to the month, to the week, up to the current day.
• Italian square calendar clock. Calendar that allows children to indicate the date, day of the week, month, season, weather. The central clock is used to learn to read the time in a simple and functional way. Suitable from 3 years.
• English square calendar clock . The English version of the calendar with date, day of the week, month, season, weather.
