Muppet flying a kite around half term? (6)

I believe the answer is:

kermit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'muppet' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'flying a kite around half term?' is the wordplay.
'flying' indicates anagramming the letters (letters fly around into new positions).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'half' indicates taking half.
'kite' is an anagram of 'keit'.
'term' cut in half is 'rm'.
'keit' going around 'rm' is 'KERMIT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kermit that I've seen before include "Croaking muppet?" , "Famous TV frog" , "Muppet frog" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
