Another lovely day of Home Ed sessions today. We explored nature by looking closely at the new buds on the trees and talking about spring. We got creative making our own trees, then went hunting for bugs and built little homes we thought the bugs might like 🐜🪱.

We also spent time climbing trees, enjoying the outdoors and finished the session with hot chocolate and making popcorn on the camp fire 🔥

Tomorrow is our Mini Explorers session 1.15 - 2.45pm

🪵🌳🌻Outdoor Explorers🐞🐝🦋

Outdoor Explorers is a nature-based learning provision set within a stunning 22-acre site of pastureland and woodland on the outskirts of Landkey offering children rich, hands-on experiences that inspire curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong connection with the natural world.

Our site includes a working smallholding and a large vegetable garden and forest school, where children learn through real-life activities such as growing food, caring for animals, exploring habitats, and understanding sustainability. These experiences support physical development, emotional wellbeing, teamwork, and problem-solving, all within a nurturing outdoor environment.

Outdoor Explorers supports families through a range of flexible programmes, including:

• Parent and toddler stay-and-play sessions, encouraging early exploration through play
• Home education sessions, tailored to individual learning needs
• Holiday clubs, offering adventurous, creative, and nature-focused activities during school breaks

Children are encouraged to explore, take managed risks, build resilience, and learn at their own pace. Whether splashing in muddy puddles, building shelters, harvesting vegetables, making potions in the mud kitchen or creating nature based art every day at Outdoor Explorers is an opportunity for discovery, growth, and joy.

This wrinkly mutant acorn known as Knopper Galls and are made by the Gall Wasp Andricus quercuscalicis, which looks like a tiny black fly just a few millimetres long. Early in the summer, the female Gall Wasp laid eggs on the buds of developing acorns and a fascinating transformation was triggered as soon as they hatched: responding to a chemical signal released by the larvae, the oak tree was persuaded to sculpt its tissue into knobbly Knopper Galls in place of normal acorns.
Knopper Galls are greenish-yellow and sticky at first but ‘ripen’ to a woody brown in early autumn, at which point they drop to the ground. The larvae pupate inside and spend the winter tucked up in their galls before emerging as adults the following spring.
