Waiting for the Dust to Settle

It seems like it was all a distant dream now... the holiday, the ash cloud, the delay.
Six days stranded in Istanbul without which I wouldn't have had the pleasure of talking my children into collaborating with 2simple on an activity for Purplemash. It's amazing how these things come about, a tweet, an idea, an email, a few photos, a short video and a couple of days later an interactive Newspaper report writing activity for KS2.

The story of how it came about was featured last week in a couple of local newspapers which my girls were extremely excited about and proud of.
