France (World Explorers Club)

October 2015, Preschool Year, age 3

World Explorers was a club run by members of our local home education community. Each session was themed around a country, region, city or festival. Before each session we would locate our 'destination' on a map. The first session's theme was France and inspired HB to ask to learn French and visit Paris.
