Oh Simone, that was great. I loved it, especially the list of How to be an Explorer of the World.
ReplyDeleteHave a great half term with the children, exploring all of the hidden corners of London.
Warm coats, gloves, scarves and woolly hats and off you go.
The world is your oyster.
Have fun. XXXX
Hi Simone!

Have a wonderful week!

Oh how I love that first picture more than you know...and definitely those wonderful words too:)
ReplyDeleteOh no, I have just returned from a quick lunchtime jaunt to Notting Hill (a quick ride on the tube from my Marble Arch office), and its snowing out...don't let it ruin your adventure! Woolly hats ahoy!

Simone...we are officially, spookily, on the same wavelength...again! I've been reading through that book with my children over the past week. It really helps expand their thinking parameter's doesn't it? Also, have spent my morning driving time (depending on how many kids have forgotten which items of homework/sports uniform this can take some time)thinking how much I would love to display a series of globes on top of our bookcase.
ReplyDeleteI take this post as affirmation that I am on the right track! Off to eBay for me. Meredy xo.
p.s. are the holidays ok? Can your kids be trusted to make you a cup of tea and bring it to you yet?
p.p.s. re Explorers of the world...a friend of mine uses sheets of contact (clear sticky plastic book covering stuff) for displaying each child's "collections" from that day. They stick various items on the sticky side, then she covers it over with another piece of contact and makes it into a placemat for them. We've done it with flowers and leaves and although it only lasts a week, the kids have loved it while it lasted.
Over and out.
the globes,
ReplyDeletethat list,
the little child...
wonderful images.
here's to you and no snow!

Exploring is one of my favorite pass times even if it is down my own street! There is a little world going on everywhere. Thanks Simone for this post! Discovering is precious~~
ReplyDeleteHave a good week!
XO

ReplyDeleteThat sounds like fun! Happy Exploring! Have a sweet day!
ReplyDeleteJust the oomph I needed!! Mine were out there making a 'tree house' as budding explorers of the world. Hmm - I must go check if they put my hammer back!
ReplyDeleteI love love this idea, and I love exploring in any place that I live! Brava my dear, have fun and how I adore that first photo....so sweet.

Absolutely wonderful adventures ahead for you all during your children's break. I'm praying for no snow & some ray's of sunshine along your travels. The list of 'how to's' was divine. Just in fact, what I needed to read. All my best to you for a glorious week. xx deb
