My site has a section giving info about every country in the world (The World), lets you read a complete history of England (Times Past), takes you on a virtual journey through the counties of England (English Counties), invites you to do and share with others a set of projects (Your Turn – you can see the hours of thinking that went into this titling process), and has a fun part for you to enjoy (Fun Things). We also have a brand new section called Owlbut's School of the Air which you really must check out. If you want to find info about anything on my site, there's a search bar just above this.

Another Friday blog is here. I think Shakespeare wrote the last sentences. To change or not to change, that is the question?

The Friday blog continues with news of a little visit Richard made. You can read it here. He walked quite a long way.

Molly and Richard are delighted to announce that Owlbut's World of Learning has won the Best Home Educators & School Nature-Led Resource Provider in the UK for 2024. Not only does this recognise the work we are now doing for home educators, the main purpose of our School of the Air section, but it also acknowledges the emphasis we put on helping young children understand, celebrate and be a part of the natural world and nature. You can read more about the award here.

We're back with a new education podcast. Check it out here. By the way, what did you wear in bed when you were five. Thought so but, as we're always saying, everyone is different. You'll have to listen now, won't you.

Both Molly and Richard passionately believe in the need for the School of the Air project. Their reasons can be seen here. However they also know that it must be done in a sustainable way, i.e. so that it will provide an on-going learning resource for home educators. As we have explained, to do this we need some funding, a pretty small amount considering the number of children we will benefit.
While we both believe that funding can be found, it is not there yet and so we have, reluctantly but sensibly, decided to delay the start until January 2025.
We will continue to do everything possible to be there in January 2025 and, with your help, whether a business or an individual, ensure that all children can have the best possible start in life.

An important announcement. Our much-needed School of the Air programme cannot happen without funding. You can read all about ways you can help, and why you should if you can, here.
This bottom set of banners, which only appear on the front page, are more explanatory for adults. Once again we have titled them brilliantly as there is a page where we will upload a weekly blog (called The Blog), a page which children might like to read telling you about us and also the background to the whole idea (called About Us and The Background), some info about the site as of now and our future plans (called Our Site Now and Our Future Plans - no surprises so far), our views on education (Education), our sponsors and supporters (Support) and the various ways you an get in touch with us (Get In Touch).
