Unfortunately, my children are wonderful liabilities and won't be asleep. Hopefully you don't have the same issue and can listen into @jameshandscombe.bsky.social talking about cool stuff.
I am left pondering what I would include in my own Cabinet of Curiosity series of lessons
Definitely toponyms
Possibly body language
So many interesting things left out of the curriculum that could inspire curiosity
