April brings the primrose sweet, Scatters daises at our feet.
Next week is a break week in Exploring Nature With Children.
To keep up your nature study momentum, spend a little time discussing the changes that have been happening in your own special nature spot. Talk about the topics that they’ve recently been learning about: • What do they remember about how & where birds build their nests? • How do we tell apart frogs and toads? • Tell what they know about the Vernal Equinox.
Do keep in mind these wise words from Miss Mason’s book: School Education: We have all been in the case of the little girl who said, “Mother, I think I could understand if you did not explain quite so much.”
Here are some links for an extra little break week fun:

It’s almost Field Trip Week in Exploring Nature With Children! This week is all about choosing a new place to go for your nature walk; either an entirely new place to you and your child, or somewhere you very rarely visit. Here’s a list of free virtual field trips for your child to enjoy without having to leave home at all:
The British Museum:The Museum of the World – Not a virtual field trip, but an incredible resource!
The Natural History Museum: “Can’t get out far to explore nature? On this page you’ll find activities and ideas to occupy yourself and family at home, in your garden or local outdoor space.”
Beamish Museum: an open air museum in North East England that brings the region’s history alive.
Museum of Science: A variety of daily live stream & webinar content.
Smithsonian: Virtual tours of exhibits & distance learning webinars & activities for all ages.
Mount Rushmore: Take a virtual tour of the “Majestic figures of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln, surrounded by the beauty of the Black Hills of South Dakota”
Chester Zoo:“From AMAZING aardvarks, an elephant POOL PARTY and fantastic fossa!”
Houston Zoo:“enjoy a live look at animals that call the Houston Zoo home! See the herd of Asian elephants wander through their enormous habitat. Watch as giraffes nibble lettuce fed to them by guests at the feeding platform; you could join them on your next visit. See the rhinos roll in their mud puddle or the flamingos float next to a waterfall. See the chimpanzees interact with guests at their window or snooze in a hammock.”
Monterey Bay Aquarium: “Be delighted by the antics of our sea otters or mellow out to the hypnotic drifting of our jellies. Experience the wonder of the ocean no matter where you are.”
Wookey Hole virtual tour: Take the virtual tour of the caves and still feel the sense of awe and wonder.
