Here's a selection of fun activities for you and your family...
 Take a tour of Monet’s house and gardens
If you fancy a slice of idyllic rural French life right now, the Claude Monet Foundation are offering a virtual tour of the Impressionist master’s sprawling house and gardens. Monet created many of his most celebrated works, including his 250 water lily paintings, in the Norman village of Giverny.
Now you can explore his atelier, living quarters and all those world-renowned flower gardens from home.
 Red Ted Art – paper helicopter
Based on nature’s helicopter seeds these really are a marvel. Make the basic shape and then why not experiment and see how you can turn this simple DIY into a proper S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) activity by making alterations and predicting what will happen.
 Earth Cam – Niagara Falls, Canada
Watching nature in all its glory is always fun, so why not have a look at one of the Earth cams online? Here you will find one of Niagara Falls in Canada, which is three enormous waterfalls with 3160 tons of water flowing over them every second!
 Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland - Audible
150 years after its original publication, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland remains one of the most widely read, deconstructed, referenced, and reinterpreted works of Western fiction. It tells the story of the young and imaginative Alice, who grows weary of her storybook; one "without pictures or conversations"; and follows a hasty hare underground, coming face to face with a host of strange and fantastic characters.
 “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
Eleanor Roosevelt
