Oh that would be great, thank you yurtgirl. We made cardboard ones for world book day a few years ago, but they're not very good (though dd has lovingly preserved them in her egyptian display on top of the chest in her room - they're really tatty now.)
As for the museum, I think we would probably have to stop on the way, once we get to the site dh becomes immovable.
Now, to sum up: dd would benefit hugely from learning french or german (or both). 'Learning skills' - research, study, and writing - are important. History, ancient history, world religions or similar, are relevant subjects. A science will show she's a good all-rounder, and be helpful, esp. biology if she wants to dig up bodies. The 11+ will widen her choices next year (assuming she passes). As MillyR says "being single minded and determined about pursuing an interest" will stand her in good stead.
Well, thank you everyone, now I have it all in one place and I can keep referring to it over the years! Makes me wonder what will actually happen in the future; now's the time to get the time machine out of the shed, dust it off and get it back to work. Going to be a busy afternoon.
