Here is the Monicofamilytravels classroom for the past 10 days, in which the girls impressively managed decent concentration despite extreme proximity to the beach, and constant interruptions from Micha the cat!
Without further ado, I present the magnificent Monicofamilytravels history timeline which takes us all the way from the Egyptian pyramids of 2500BC to the NYC skyscrapers of today.
Construction utilised bins of sea-water, sand, drift wood and anything else we could scavenge from the beach (plus a slightly scary moment where Bella tested out the saw function of her new pen knife):
And some of the triumphant constructions included:
Stone Henge
The first man on the moon
The Parthenon
The Pyramids
The birth of Christ (even though the symbolism seems to be his death…)
A working roman aqueduct
A highrise skyline
And the whole thing in revers order!
And the whole thing from start to finish……..with a few victory poses!
As ever, our immense thanks go to Rob for the ingenuity, creativity and fun he injects into the girls education.
