Favourite all time tip: Stromovka

We often meet with the worldschoolers spontaneously in the Stromovka park. Today I took two of my kids there and explored the frozen ice on the ponds. We made holes and measured the thickness of the ice. It was mostly 4-5 cm thick. There was funny noises through the ice cracking as we smashed it.. Someone had been iceskating, though we recommend 10 cm thickness before venturing out on the deep bits, hopefully by february the ice should be thick enough. Always be careful with ice and water. Water at this temperature makes you so numb you can barely move and there are people every year that fall in and die from not being careful. For exploring the thin ice on the ponds we recommend the clear ice by the long bridge in front of the Slechtova restaurace where you can see the bottom and its very shallow and quite stable. Beware though that there is always the risk of the ice breaking.

If you want to join any activity you must message us here or on facebook, to say your attending or is interested in the facebook event is not counted as a confirmation.

A new year - a new beginning - lets get together!

So this week we have not been as active as we usually are. Our littlest one has had yet another cold (they seem to be very frequent the last six months!) so we have put things on hold. But we are getting better and look forward to a fun start of this worldschooling year of 2019.

Today we went to Prague zoo, just me and the kids. Its sounds maybe like its not the best idea to take small kids to the zoo a rainy cold january-day but it was! We enjoyed both the outdoors and the indoors. Its not at all crowded of course. Typically we will only explore a small part of the zoo each time because its quite big. Today we had a look at especially the seals, penguins, crocodiles and we found a "new" indoor place with giant turtles and fruit bats. We spent about 3.5 hours in the zoo and plan to go back quite soon. At mondays its "happy monday" so its 50 czk for kids. If anyone would like to join us please let us know and well coordinate something next time!

Worldschooling meet ups and suggestions this week

Branik rope play ground
Tomorrow we will head to the rope playground in Branik. its very good and we have had many worldschooler meet ups there. Its good because its quite challenging rope climbing for bigger kids (and adults) and there is play areas for the smaller ones. Restaurace Korkoran that is located there is a good place to warm up. It has a play area for the littles and cheap lunch. We will meet at 1030. For directions and more info check http://www.vltavanu229.cz/ To get there from the center, take tram 17 to Nadrazi Branik, or some other trams.

Worldschooling swim meet up at Letnany lagoon + indoor play ground

We will swim in one of our favourite pools and invite the worldschoolers to join us. Letnany lagoon is located right next to the Letnany mall, which is easy to get to by car or bus. The pool has a 25 m pool for exercise, a warm baby pool, two jacuzzis and a big slide that is slow and easy for littles. The changing room arrangement is quite easy with kids. It costs 140 kc for adults and 70 kc for kids and its free for the littles. We will meet at 12 on friday. After swimming we will head to the mall, for some lunch. The food court is very good with great indian and thai for instance. There are a couple of free indoor play grounds and one that you can pay for. More info at http://www.letnanylagoon.cz/

Film screening at Kino Pilotu.

Have a look at Ralph breaks the internet at this child friendly place this weekend. I think a few worldschoolers and expat kids will turn up! For details see link. We will not go to this.
