Its in the OP Ammi the list summer week will be added in October so the overall holidays remain the same, in some ways I think it makes sense, kids have 5 weeks off in summer and families could use the time in October to go abroad for some sunshine before winter, it's difficult to do that and sometimes not cost effective for a week
