CHILDREN across Wales will break up for half term slightly later than last year.
School holidays vary every year, and many children will be ready for a break after eight weeks in school.
This year children are in for a treat as schools break up just before Halloween.
Last year half term was between October 25 and 29, this year it is slightly later, as it runs from Monday, October 31 (the day of Halloween), until Friday, November 4.
This means youngsters can enjoy Halloween knowing there is no school the following day.

Bonfire Night also falls on the last day of the holiday, meaning children can end half term with bang by attending displays.
Once those key dates are out of the way, Christmas is just around the corner.
After returning to school on Monday, November 7, it is only eight weeks until children can get excited for the Christmas holidays.
This year schools get very close to the big day before breaking up - with holidays beginning on Friday, December 23.
After two weeks of festive fun, youngsters will be back to school on Monday, January 9.
Autumn half term holiday: Monday, October 31 - Friday, November 4.
Christmas holiday: Friday, December 23, 2022 - Monday, January 9, 2023.
