We’ve come to the end of #30DaysWild for another year. Our wild activities have been quite low-key this year due to being mostly restricted to the garden but we have enjoyed doing some nature crafts. Sophie had a fun afternoon making some nature fashion accessories. We used leaves to make a crown and a necklace,… Read More

Sophie has been enjoying our various outdoor learning sessions over the last few weeks. We’ve created a little ‘Muddy Puddles’ area in our back garden as a space for her to explore, dig up, look for mini beasts or grow things. We see a lot of worms in that area when she is digging away.… Read More

One of the things I’ve enjoyed about doing home learning with Sophie has been thinking of ways to take our learning outdoors as much as possible. One of Sophie’s home learning activities was to make a 3D shelter. This was a great activity to take outdoors, using the sticks that we’d collected as part of… Read More

Making a solar oven and using the power of the sun to do some outdoor baking has been on my list of things to try with Sophie for a while. A sunny Saturday with temperatures rising to over 30˚C was the perfect opportunity to give it a try. It’s a fun science activity for children… Read More
