Hi, I'm Owlbut! Welcome to my Fun World of Learning!
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.

PINNED NEWS
Several teachers have pointed out to me that now is a very busy time in schools for several reasons. SAT tests are this week, GCSEs started on
9 May and finish 16 June and some schools are preparing for sports days or summer fetes. For us it is also a very busy time as we get ready to
launch our "School of the Air" in September. We have therefore decided that this year there will be no new learning material appearing on our
site until that launch date. Our weekly blog telling you what is going on and our monthly educational podcasts will continue. Please continue
to use the material already on-site. See you all in September.

With only a small element of surprise, the
Friday blog is here on Friday. Have a read and see why we feel we
are on the correct path with what we are doing and why, maybe, the next government might, possibly, go down the same path.

More
educational thoughts from Molly and Richard as they try to identify different uses for
their new "School of the Air" in both a home education situation, for which it has been specifically designed but also with ideas on
how schools can and are using the whole site.

Friday is here and so is our
Friday blog. Just a little reminder as to why we are doing what we do.
Sometimes we need to remind ourselves too. We hope you've managed to get outside this week, especially if your weather has been as good as ours.

It's another
Friday blog, this time written by Molly. As our programme for Friday is titled, "Walking with Molly"
it seems logical that she will tell you all about it.
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 daily 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 (Partners) and the various ways you an get in touch with us (Get In Touch).
