    We have always enjoyed learning from home but the last year has meant long periods of learning about the dining room table. We are lucky that there are some amazing resources out there which make home learning both educational and fun. My 9 year old loves science and we have had a lot of fun trying science experiments at home. We have tried some of the National Geographic kits from Bandai UK and were delighted to be sent some more to try. With Earth Day coming up this week they have been great for helping the kids learn more about…

We have boxes full of everything and it’s lovely to be able to let the children be inspired by some of the materials we have. I’ve been going through everything and donating lots of items I know we won’t use to the charity shop. It’s funny how quickly the children grow up and want to use more grown up crafting materials. With Earth Day coming up next month ((22nd April) we thought it would be fun to take part in the Recycle…
