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.
25 April 2025. Friday again, last one in April, and the year is two-thirds gone and, talking of thirds, Molly gives you her third Music Makes Pictures choice. Richard writes the blog this week. He says at the beginning he didn't know where it would go; he was right.
24 April 2025. Back to normal this week with our Making with Molly videos. Molly goes out collecting leaves and comes back to her cabin to make a superb leaf collage and it looks a bit like someone we all know.
23 April 2025. The very first in our Have A Go at history series and we look at the Mesolithic Age, 3,500 years with very little change. Oh, but one big change, watch the ending; history has been re-written.
22 April 2025. Owlbutcast bursts back on your screens after a long time away and will be with you every fortnight at 7pm on a Tuesday. This week we look at the death of Pope Francis. Check it out and you'll know what will happen next.
22 April 2025. We're back after the Easter break and we return to Molly reading another story in the adventures of Pip the Pixie. You can listen on this page. Hope you've had a good holiday.
17 April 2025. We've uploaded this week's blog and Molly's second Music Makes Pictures choice a day early because of the 4-day holiday weekend. Have fun and see you again on Tuesday 22 April with another Pip story and the return of Owlbutcast, tariff-free.
11 April 2025. It's the end of the first week of the Easter holidays and Richard writes the blog. But it's all change on our Music Makes Pictures section and we have the first of Molly's choices.
4 April 2025. Molly writes the blog this week and it's quite seasonal. Read it here.. Meanwhile, Richard makes his last choice in the Music Makes Pictures section and Molly seems to have influenced that. Listen to a song in progress.
3 April 2025. It's our last video upload before Easter and you can get the chance to make a spring walk with Molly. Learn more about trees and their buds and enjoy the lovely weather. It looks like it will stay pretty nice, certainly where we live, so if it does the same in your area, get outside and check the flowers and trees. We'll be back on the Tuesday after Easter with another story from Molly. Take your Molly walk starting here.
1 April 2025. Our last story time before the Easter break and so we decided to be a bit different. Pip is taking a very short break, his adventures will be back straight after Easter, and this week Molly, with help from Colin the Crow, tells you about the legend of the dandelion. Find out what it's all about on this page. Have a great holiday.
28 March 2025. Last Friday in March and can I, because everyone else seems to be doing it, remind you to put your clocks forward an hour at 2am on Sunday, except in the modern world most of you won't have to bother although I do know a man who has several to change. You're going to lose an hour of sleep but luckily you can read the latest blog, while you'e awake. There's also another Music Makes Pictures which you might like to listen to just before you go to sleep.
27 March 2025. It's out and about today for Molly as she tells you some fun facts about trees and does some bark rubbings. That's something really easy for you to try so click here for Bark Rubbings.
25 March 2025. This week Molly tells you a story about how some people believe that nature can tell us if the weather will be good in the summer or will we have lots of rain. It's time for another Pip story.
21 March 2025. It's Friday again and so it's time for our latest blog. That also means there's another Music Makes Pictures and, to Richard, nearly as special as last week.
20 March 2025. It's windy on the beach but Molly braves it, for a few minutes, and then runs back to her cabin to show you how to make a Shell Necklace.
18 March 2025. This week Pip comes across a very vain snail who steals his new hat. Molly reads another Pip story to you. Have a listen
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).
