“Why be indoors when you can rightly be without.” – Charlotte Mason
A big part of my girls education involves time outdoors and nature study. We love this aspect of our learning lifestyle as it’s something that all the family gets involved with.
We use Exploring Nature with Children as a guide both at home and with our weekly Nature Explorers group.
This term we’ve taken a closer look at autumn leaves, fungus, moss and lichen and we even picked out our very own tree to study throughout the academic year.
Here are some of the snap shots:















This is beautiful. Guernsey is such a wonderful place to be outside. I have so many special memories of beautiful Autumns there. I have been meaning to start a nature journal with my children…thanks for the inspiration Jessica!

You’re welcome, Cherie. We’re very much still working out how to do our nature journals, they’re not always perfect or pretty, but it’s a fun process.

Thank you, Elizabeth and yes, it’s been very mild so far, winter coats are not a necessity quite yet!

I’m starting to plan our nature study for summer and fall. This was very inspirational!

I’m pleased you enjoyed the post. I need to get a bit more organised with my planning though, haven’t even begun to think about summer let alone fall!
