I posted yesterday??!! I don't recall turning the computer on!! Had a bad few days with my seizures, but reading it back, it looks like a good idea lol! Now why didn't I think of that one......:roflmao: More ideas from my brain now it seems to be firing on a few more cylinders rather than just one! Are there any old buildings locally, you can give a good history lesson looking at old buildings, talking about what you all think the occupants would have been wearing, and eating, and lighting their house with. And if you draw a picture of the building, that covers art as well. Bake cakes with your child then take them to an old person's care home. The child will learn about giving back to the community, cheer up someone's day, and cookery all in one go. Churches, synagogues, temples and other religious buildings are often very decorative, and it sparks discussions about different religions which covers Religious Education. Going around your area with plain paper and crayons and taking rubbings of ANYTHING i.e drain covers, leaves, railings, trees, bricks, just about anything is fun, and you can incorporate a lesson on materials in your environment (science). If there are any aquariums near you, most kids love seeing the fish. I will be back with more ideas when I've racked my brains for other stuff I've done with my kids. OH a port watching the container ships coming in-teaches them about imports and exports, which can lead to discussions on WHY a country imports and exports, and what kids don't like watching boats?
