Can any one remember the free school magazines/ paper that was given out in lesson to each pupil (I seem to remember it was when student teachers took a lesson ) in the 1950s/1960s.
If so what on earth was it called. DH asked me this morning and I cannot recall the name of it.
It was an educational magazine and I know in one issue there was a piece about cocoa, and each pupil had to send away for a free cardboard (large scale) cocoa bean to use in the lesson .hmm

I think this one still goes into some classrooms.

I gave my grandson a three month trial Bagitha. No go! He reckoned it was too educational for him! shock Naughty boy.

He does love his junior National Geographic one though. I think it's probably all in the presentation. I will try again later on when the younger one is old enough.

(Since I put up that previous post, I've been sitting here reading online pages of Aquila myself! It is good. I've learned something!)

DD loves it and she has acquired some penfriends via the letters page.

bagitha You DD will learn so much from her penfriends, much more educational than any homework (another thread) may she go on to make loads more friends in the future I still write to my friend Genevieve in Toulouse and have done since we where both 12/13.

That's what I think re homework too, glam, and I hope she does keep in touch with the penpals.
