What Happened When the Family Headed to RAF Museum Hendon

Despite studying history to GCSE and learning a little Latin, history is not my strong point (too many deaths going on for my liking). The only date I can actually remember is 1066 (sorry hubby) and I do love trying to read the Latin inscriptions in churches. My husband on the other hand is really passionate about history that he loves surrounding himself with it. As our daughters grow up I feel it is important for them to immerse themselves in both of their parents passions and more. So on Wednesday eldest was torn away from CBeebies and headed off on an adventure with her father and her granddad. Together they headed to RAF Museum Hendon where they delighted in seeing many aircraft and a rescue boat. Eldest had them well and truly entertained and as someone pointed out their hands full too.

Here is the definition and our experiences of this activity. Geocaching is similar to treasure hunting you download coordinates from the dedicated website, find the container outside, sign its log book and record the ones you've found on the computer when you get back home. Geocaches come in a range of shapes and sizes from film canisters to ammo cans and more interesting cache containers such as a case originally used for protecting bananas to this jolly character.

Many of these help to teach you about the world in w...

Bringing Up Bilingual Babies

Some people say that our lives make more sense if we were to live it backwards. Although I had a Spanish nanny when I was a child my language of preference at school was that of French. I went on three French exchanges, did work experience in a school and am now happily married to a French man. As we stepped into our family’s home recently, we left my mother tongue back in England and embraced that of my husband’s. Our eldest seemed unphased by this departure and was very eager to stay up late and socialise as is the culture. So as I left hubby and the eldest to it. I retired to the bedroom with the youngest. During our stay my daughter seemed to understand simple instructions like being asked to pick up a doll from the garden and of course knew what non and chocolat meant. Some of the words in French are very similar to English for they both have their roots in Latin so I imagine that this helps. Of course gestures, body movement and facial expression also add up to som...
