My husband and I LOVE travelling with our two daughters. In particular, we enjoy visiting European cities and so I’m sharing with you our recommendations for three that we’ve visited and really loved.
BUDAPEST
Portugal’s capital, Lisbon is a truly family-friendly city with play equipment in open spaces and an urban beach across the road from Commerce Square and the statue of Dom José I.
In terms of things to do in Lisbon, there’s an aquarium, the iconic trams, a cable car and a zoo to enjoy. If you are short on time, I can recommend hiring a tuk tuk for a whistle-stop city tour – my kids loved this.
Don’t miss conquering the castle! Castelo de São Jorge (or St George’s Castle) sits on the hilltop in the Alfama, a commanding Moorish castle high above the twisting narrow medieval streets. It’s the perfect place to let imaginations run wild as you wander the castle walls and just as good for enjoying some spectacular views over the city.
You can also get a close up in the Black Chamber with the camera obscura, giving a 360 degree look at the city in real time, from the monuments to the people.
Our most recent European city visit was to the capital of Hungary. Now, if you know anything about Budapest you might think of it more as a destination for hen and stag ‘dos’ or couples’ getaways.
I get it. The famous Ruin Bars and heavy post-Second World War history might not scream ‘family-friendly’ but hear me out!
We had a brilliant multi-generation holiday in Budapest spending a full week seeking out its best viewpoints, visiting attractions and enjoying its cafe culture. We loved relaxing at Széchenyi Thermal Bath and our kids said it was the best thing they did in Budapest.
They also enjoyed shopping at Central Market Hall, walking round the Parliament and Jewish Quarters and climbing St Stephen’s Basilica - the interior is spectacular; it has its own piece of Horrible Histories – the mummified right arm of St Stephen (King István); and you can climb all the way to the roof for brilliant views of Budapest.
Budapest is also really easy to get around either on foot or by Bolt taxi.
BARCELONA
Barcelona in Spain offers plenty of historic attractions families will love. We visited with our two girls when they were preschoolers and it’s a great place for a city break with babies and toddlers.
It’s very easy to get around on foot or by Metro and there are plenty of free things to do. Our favourites were the urban beach and Park Güell (not the inner garden, which you must pay to visit and book in advance for guaranteed entry).
Other things to do in Barcelona include the Aquarium, which was a big hit with my girls, Spain’s oldest amusement park, Tibidabo Amusement Park and the Montjuïc Magic Fountain.
For some history, head for the Basilica of the Sagrada Familia – BUT always buy tickets ahead to avoid long queues. The Sagrada Familia – infamous for being designed by Antoni Gaudi and, so far, taking 142 years to build – is a piece of history in the making. When completed, its central tower will measure 566ft, making it the tallest cathedral in Europe.
One of the best sites for families is the Nativity facade, which was the first part of the cathedral to be built and shows the birth of Jesus, incorporating symbolic creatures such as turtles and chameleons – perfect for spotting with youngsters.

Noah’s story: a home education journey
In 2023, the Department for Education found there were an estimated 86,200 home educated pupils known to local authorities, a rise from 80,900 less than a year before. Families talks to one of its Editors about the home educating journey her family is taking with her son, Noah.
How old is your son and what led you to start home educating him?
Noah is now 14 years old and has been home educated for a year. We felt we had no choice but to withdraw him from school due to his extreme anxiety and the school’s failure to meet his needs.
What kind of support did you receive from the school when you raised your concerns and where do you think support needed to be better?
Initially, the school allowed Noah a flexible timetable, letting him come in a few minutes late and leave early to avoid the crowd of 1,600 students. They also let him work in the Student Development Centre instead of attending classes where he felt more anxious.
However, this was only a short-term solution that didn’t provide him with any real education. We enquired about flexi-schooling but the school refused to consider this option. Schools are overstretched with the increasing SEN population and lack of funding. We requested a meeting with the SENCO team but the earliest they could meet us was four weeks later.
What concerns did you have about home education?
Deciding to home educate was tough. I felt a lot of guilt, wondering if it was the right choice and whether I could provide Noah with the education he needs to achieve his future goals. I was also worried about the social aspect but he actually talks to his friends more now than he did when he was in school.
What official steps did you need to take?
We sent an official deregistration email to the headteacher, who then notified the Elective Home Education (EHE) team at the local council. We received our first contact from the EHE within a week. We opted to keep everything in writing with the EHE team rather than face to face, so we are now required to provide a yearly written report of what Noah has been learning and his progression.
How did you figure out your approach to home educating? It was trial and error! Noah prefers structure, so he has set subjects on set days but can choose the order in which he completes them. We also have three other children in mainstream education, so we try to fit Noah’s education around their school schedule, leaving evenings and weekends for family and friends.
How did your family and Noah experience the first few weeks of home educating?
Initially the focus was on building Noah’s confidence and allowing him to reset after the trauma of the previous months. We also discovered together that he is a visual and hands-on learner, which suits his dyslexia better than traditional learning methods.
What resources are available for parents who are home educating?
The most valuable resource we found was joining a supportive home education community on Facebook - Home Education for All (HEFA) UK. There’s a wealth of information, from legal aspects to finding what works best for your family. Many areas also have local Home Ed groups and attractions often offer Home Ed sessions similar to school trips.
Which resources have you found the most useful?
We use various resources but a few of our favourites are The £2 Tuition Hub (www.thetwopoundtuitionhub.com), Oak Academy (www.thenational.academy), Continuity Oak (www.continuityoak.org.uk/lessons), SouthWest Science School (www.southwestscienceschool.com), also Absolute Maths (www.home.absolutemathscourse.co.uk).
Equally, learning opportunities are everywhere. We are lucky to have the internet at our fingers, a local library and live in an area where we can investigate nature, historic buildings and museums within half an hour of our doorstep.
Does your son have a set curriculum?
Noah wants to sit his GCSEs, so we follow the national curriculum for those subjects, even though home-educated children are not legally required to take exams.
What have you learned about education through home education?
The biggest lesson is how outdated the traditional education system is. As the saying goes, you can’t fit a square peg into a round hole. Children have different needs and learning styles, yet we are pushing them all through a one-size-fits-all system.
How does your son socialise now that he’s not in school?
He attends the local scouting group and spends time gaming with friends he made while in school.
How is his well-being now?
Noah is much happier and more relaxed. Friends and family have noticed the difference in him, saying it’s like he can breathe now. His sense of humour and cheekiness have really developed and he often has us all laughing.
Do you envisage him going back to mainstream education at any point?
We have left the decision up to Noah. We won’t force him either way. We check in with him regularly and he currently says he doesn’t see himself going back to school in the future.

How are children assessed at school?
By Zuzu Jordan
As parents, we often wonder how well our children are progressing at school. In which areas do they excel or need additional support? Feedback on their performance is crucial to understanding their learning journey and providing the encouragement they need.
Assessments play an essential role in education, acting as tools to shape and refine the learning experience. Through various assessment methods, teachers can identify each pupil’s strengths and weaknesses, then tailor their lessons to address individual and group needs. These evaluations help teachers set specific learning targets and organise classroom groups effectively to ensure all pupils thrive.
One commonly used method is formative assessment, which includes tests, quizzes and exams. These timed activities provide valuable diagnostic insights into a pupil’s understanding, offering immediate feedback and standardised benchmarks. Results from weekly or half-termly tests can also serve as quick indicators of progress. However, they can sometimes create anxiety for pupils and parents due to their timed nature.
Teachers also assess pupils in numerous other ways, often on a daily basis, while children are encouraged to engage in selfassessment and peer assessment. This involves reflecting on their own work or evaluating their classmates’ efforts. For example, using a writing success criteria checklist, pupils can identify their achievements and where they need to improve.
Not all assessments involve written tasks or time limits. Creative methods, such as presentations and group activities, allow children to demonstrate their understanding in diverse
and engaging ways. Teachers and support staff also assess informally by asking questions during lessons, observing classroom interactions and marking pupils’ work.
With advances in technology, educators now use innovative tools to make assessments more interactive and informative. Real-time feedback from digital quizzes or classroom apps enables teachers to adjust lessons instantly. For example, if a majority of pupils struggle with a concept, teachers can modify their approach immediately to address misunderstandings.
Ultimately, the goal of assessments is to support learning, not create stress. If your child struggles with timed assessments, practising under timed conditions, improving time management and familiarising them with question types can help. By working together, parents and teachers can ensure that assessments become stepping stones for growth rather than barriers to success.

ChatGPT and your child
By Erin Miller
An increasing area of concern for both schools and parents is how children are incorporating AI into their learning, particularly when they are learning independently.
While AI offers tremendous opportunities to enhance learning, it is also essential to be aware of the potential negative impacts that AI may have. This article explores some of the risks of children using AI in their learning but also provides some guidance for when and how children can use AI in a productive and useful way.
As a teacher, I now frequently use AI tools to assist me in my lesson planning and they have been hugely beneficial in saving my time.
The reason why I am confident in using AI tools is because when AI produces a response, I am able to fact-check it myself. After over ten years of teaching, it is clear to me when AI has produced erroneous information or not responded to my prompt with the information I’m looking for.
However, children, especially younger children, will not have developed this critical faculty as they do not yet have subject expertise. Therefore, children blindly relying on information produced by AI is not conducive to learning.
The main lesson that I impart to my students surrounding the use of AI is: AI cannot do your thinking for you.
Children at all ages need to understand that AI provides a great platform for researching factual information but using AI to come
up with ideas in creative tasks puts a stop to thinking.
The same applies to tasks where children are being asked to make interpretations or give their opinions on something. There is no viable shortcut for thinking, as the process of deep thought is invaluable in forming neural pathways, which is how children remember information.
AI tools are a part of our present and future and children should engage with them, where appropriate. But schools and parents should be aligned in how to introduce children to AI and help them engage with it safely and responsibly.
Your child’s school may have an AI policy in place, which is worth reviewing if you have any concerns. As this technology continues to evolve, schools are likely to be open to hearing your thoughts and feedback on their AI policies and usage. So don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s school to continue this important conversation!
Erin Miller is a teacher with a keen interest in how research can be used in the classroom to improve learning.
Further guidance for AI use
If your child is using AI tools in their independent learning, try the following to help them to use AI effectively and responsibly:
Encourage your child to go into the sources referenced by the AI and read the full source to check that the information given by the AI tool is accurate.
Start conversations about plagiarism early. Unfortunately, AI has provided a way for children to plagiarise and disguise this plagiarisation. AI is able to produce whole essays or examples of creative writing and these can be put through ‘humanising’ tools, which give the essays a more human voice, making plagiarism harder to detect. Conversations at home about plagiarism will go a long way in helping your child understand the seriousness of academic dishonesty and the harm it will do their own learning in the long term.
Discuss with your child whether AI will help them in their learning task. AI is unlikely to help genuine learning in creative tasks that require imagination but is a fantastic tool for factual research.
Cook once, eat twice
By Sam Milner
As parents who work from home and with hectic family schedules, we take every opportunity to follow the ‘cook once eat twice’ method using our air fryer.
If you have not heard of cooking once and eating twice, the idea is that you double batch a meal, providing enough food for two mealtimes instead of one. It takes a lot of pressure out of meal preparations and if you do this just three times a week, you will soon have a freezer bursting with meals that you can reheat in an air fryer. Then on those nights when you don’t have time to cook at all, you can grab one of your trusted eat twice meals and reheat it from frozen.
If you’re worried that this method will take up too much time, remember the prep time for many cook once, eat twice recipes is often no longer than the prep time for one meal. It’s also worth noting that an air fryer is an independent cooking machine and unlike a pan, you can leave it to do the cooking, freeing you up to attend to other jobs or simply spend time together.
What type of recipes should you be preparing for a cook once, eat twice theme? Anything you would bake in the oven is a good starting point. Or something that would be familiar to you from the ready meals aisle of a supermarket. In other words, the kind of air fryer meals you can freeze in foil containers and then cook in an air fryer in a foil tray, reducing your washing up when you come back for your second batch.
My favourites include lasagne, moussaka, macaroni cheese, enchiladas, curry and other similar oven-friendly recipes that can easily be cooked much faster in the air fryer without the need for preheating.
Make a double batch of the recipe and portion up the first meal
Hectic Tuesday Veggie Loaded Moussaka
The idea for this moussaka recipe came about because our kids were all out at different after school clubs on the same night and it was impossible to find a window for a family dinner. We had our son out at 4pm, our daughter leaving at 5.45pm and then our eldest son leaving at 7pm.
Between 4pm and 7pm, we didn’t have more than ten minutes when we were all home, plus there were lots of pick-ups going on! So our moussaka was dedicated to families trying desperately to juggle after school clubs with a wholesome week-night meal.
You can make the moussaka ahead of time. As the recipe makes two meals, how about making one for this Tuesday and another for next Tuesday? The meal can be kept warm in the air fryer until everyone is finally home to be fed and is loaded with veg to provide a nutritious boost.
for dinner. Then, as you are doing the washing up, add the second meal to a foil tray. Once cool, label and freeze it. Or you can keep it in the fridge; if you love the recipe, you may want round two the next day! Then as you start to build up a freezer supply you can have a variety of meals a few times a week without feeling like you are in a mealtime rut.

Spring is the perfect season to embrace the wonders of nature with your children. The budding trees and singing birds are not just signs of life and new beginnings but also opportunities to explore, learn and connect with wildlife. Whether you have a sprawling garden, a small balcony or just a window box, there are plenty of ways to create a thriving mini ecosystem. Here are eight ideas to inspire outdoor fun with your family this spring. Each project offers a mix of hands-on creativity, learning and the joy of discovery.
Bug hotels are fantastic for biodiversity and providing shelter for insects, including beetles, ladybirds and solitary bees. They’re also a brilliant hands-on project for children. Start by gathering natural materials like twigs, pinecones, bark, bamboo canes and dry leaves. Use an old wooden box or stack pallets to create the structure, filling the compartments with these materials. You can also recycle everyday items like bricks with holes, cardboard tubes or broken terracotta pots.
To make your bug hotel even more appealing to solitary bees, create a ‘bee hotel’ section by bundling together hollow bamboo canes or drilling holes of varying sizes into wooden blocks. This provides ideal nesting spots for these important pollinators. Position this section in a sunny, sheltered spot, as solitary bees prefer warmth and dryness.
Encourage kids to monitor their creation regularly. Buglife (www.buglife.org) has a fantastic bug directory to help you identify your tiny new visitors and find out more about them. Remind children to visit the hotel at different times of the day and observe which insects prefer which areas of the hotel.
Dom Higgins, Head of Health and Education at The Wildlife Trusts (www.wildlifetrusts.org) says encouraging children’s natural curiosity can instil a lifelong love of nature that brings physical benefits. He also believes that getting hands-on can help prevent or dispel fears about creepie-crawlies. ‘Children have a fascination with insects and creepie-crawlies. Isn’t it often the adults who are squeamish, rather than the children?’
Need more ideas for bug hotels? Famly (www.famly.co) has an excellent guide to creating different kinds of bug hotels from a really simple ten-minute project to the mega-complex.
Pollinators like butterflies are vital for the ecosystem and attracting them to your garden is easier than you might think. Plant a variety of nectar-rich flowers such as lavender, marigolds and buddleia. Herbs
Hedgehogs are nocturnal wonders with a crucial role in maintaining garden health by eating pests like slugs and snails. To welcome our prickly friends, leave a small gap in your garden fence for them to pass through. Avoid using slug pellets as they can harm hedgehogs.
You can also make or purchase a hedgehog house. Position it in a quiet, shaded area and fill it with dry leaves or hay. Providing fresh water and food such as meat-based cat or dog food (not milk or bread) can encourage regular visits. Involve your children in setting up and checking the hedgehog house and teach them to observe from a distance to avoid disturbing these shy creatures.
Go on a minibeast hunt
Transform your garden or local park into a treasure trove of discovery by organising a minibeast hunt. Equip children with magnifying glasses, notebooks and a checklist of insects to find, such as ants, worms, spiders and centipedes. Look under logs, leaves and stones for hidden creatures, taking care to return everything to its original position.
This activity teaches kids about the diversity of life and the importance of even the smallest creatures in the ecosystem. Encourage them to sketch their discoveries or write down fun facts about each species.
like thyme, mint and oregano are also excellent choices for window boxes or small spaces.
Children can help plant and care for these flowers, learning about the life cycles of pollinators in the process. A butterfly-friendly garden can also include flat stones where butterflies can bask in the sun and shallow water dishes for drinking.

Outdoor fun and learning this spring
By Ellie Malt
Spring is the perfect season to embrace the wonders of nature with your children. The budding trees and singing birds are not just signs of life and new beginnings but also opportunities to explore, learn and connect with wildlife. Whether you have a sprawling garden, a small balcony or just a window box, there are plenty of ways to create a thriving mini ecosystem. Here are eight ideas to inspire outdoor fun with your family this spring. Each project offers a mix of hands-on creativity, learning and the joy of discovery.
Build a bird box and bird hide
Spring is nesting season, making it the perfect time to install a bird box. Instead of using traditional wooden designs, try upcycling something from around your home to create a unique nesting spot. An old teapot, for example, can be securely mounted with the spout angled downward to keep it dry. An unused wooden drawer or even a sturdy cardboard box coated in weatherproof paint can also work well. Get creative, let your children decorate the bird box with non-toxic paints to make it truly one-of-a-kind.
Position the box at least two metres above the ground in a sheltered spot, away from direct sunlight and predators. Monitor it discreetly: watching birds nest and raise their chicks is a magical experience for the whole family.
To deepen your connection with the wildlife, consider setting up a small camera near the bird box to observe the activity inside without disturbing the birds. Alternatively, create a simple bird hide using branches, camouflage netting or an old blanket to watch birds from a distance. This can turn your garden into a mini wildlife observation station, sparking curiosity and teaching patience.
Explore the magic of window boxes and balconies
Even if you don’t have a garden, you can still attract wildlife to your home with a well-planted window box or balcony.
Choose a mix of flowering plants for pollinators and leafy greens for sheltering insects. Children can decorate pots and help with planting, fostering their creativity and nurturing skills.
Add a small dish of water with stones for insects to drink from and hang tiny feeders or seed balls to attract birds.
Observing wildlife at close range from your window can be just as rewarding as a garden safari.
Feed the birds
Birdwatching is a relaxing and educational activity that can be enjoyed year-round but spring is particularly vibrant as many birds prepare for nesting.
Start a compost heap
Composting is an awesome way to teach children about the natural cycle of decomposition. A simple compost heap or bin can provide a habitat for worms, woodlice and other decomposers while producing nutrient-rich soil for your garden.
Get children involved by letting them add fruit and vegetable scraps, eggshells and garden clippings to the compost. Add torn up plain cardboard to provide carbon and recycle household packaging. Explain how the materials break down over time and why composting is essential for reducing waste.
Checking the compost heap regularly can reveal fascinating insect activity and foster a deeper understanding of nature.
Set up bird feeders with a mix of seeds, peanuts and suet balls to attract a variety of species. You can also make simple feeders using pinecones, peanut butter and birdseed or string apple slices and raisins onto garden twine. Consider adding a birdbath for drinking and bathing.
Encourage your children to keep a bird journal, noting the species they spot and their behaviour. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (www.rspb.org.uk) can help with identification and provide tips for bird-friendly gardening. Warblr (www.warblr.co.uk) is an iPhone and Android app that automatically recognises British birds by their song.
