Observing my lovely granddaughter, safety first went out of the window when it came to exploring, picking things up,'eating' things. I guess there is something about an embryonic personality at play here too!

I wonder if a deeper instinct to learn, we might call it curiosity, comes before safety because it's often through being curious children get their 'fingers burned' and learn what safety means.

I love your drawings and guides. I wondered if the antiquity of this route might have drawn you in. I am an archaeologist by training and a lover of chalk geology, so that's what fires me up to walk this ancient route.

I was chatting to a couple of Y6 children today and the subject of the Battle of Hastings came up. 'What was that about?' I asked.
The reply was, 'Didn't he build a big wall to keep out the Scots?'
'Who?' I responded.
'That man, Hastings.'

Reading enjoyment is low because many children can't read well enough to enjoy what they read.
