In the December issue we zip back to the Middle Ages, when marauding Norsemen invaded the British Isles. Explore weird Viking facts, join us as we pitch Santa against Odin and celebrate a fun-filled ‘Jul’ — that’s Christmas, Viking-style.

AQUILA is indeed a superb learning extension, but it is much more than that. Entertaining, eccentric and always surprising, it aims to widen children’s interest and encourage critical thinking. AQUILA is not about hot-housing bright children to pass exams: nor do we want children to concentrate exclusively on their favourite subjects. Instead they can gather information from many different sources and become life-long multi-dimensional learners. AQUILA encourages a well-rounded understanding of the world in all its complexity, bringing to their attention topics and theories that children will not encounter at school.

AQUILA aims higher than other children’s publications. Monthly topics are investigated in a multi-dimensional way, so science, culture, mystery and comedy may appear side-by-side on our pages as we strive to encourage children to be open-minded as well as self-motivated. The content is enjoyed by both children and adults, so puzzle-solving is often a family affair — and as children mature they will often go back again to their old AQUILA magazines and enjoy them again at a whole new level, appreciating the articles from a more mature, enlightened perspective.

AQUILA posts to more than 100 countries worldwide, including America, Australia and New Zealand. The magazine will go direct to the child in any country. When the time comes for a renewal notice this will be sent to you, wherever you may live!
