Hi, I'm Owlbut! Welcome to my Fun World of Learning!
Our site also has four more learning sections where we give you info about every country in the world (The World), let you read a complete history of England (Times Past), take you on a virtual journey through the counties of England (English Counties) and invite 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).

has to be your first port of call every Monday morning. This week check out if the BBC do really know
what we're doing. Do they even know what they're doing. It's all in
The Monday vlog.
25 August 2025.
This week Molly tells you about her holiday in Hampshire, don't ask who was buried in Winchester cathedral (sadly Richard did) and then they tell you
what to expect this week when you'll have a little video each day.
The Monday vlog is here.
19 August 2025.
More information about a part of our site, this time the
English Counties section. Join Richard and friends and try to cook
some traditional dishes from various counties. Weirdly, sometimes, he's quite good at it.
18 August 2025.
Another Monday, another little video telling you what's been going on. All is revealed
here, where you can see who has had the
most exciting week, who is going to have the most exciting next week and who tries to stand up, very successfully,
using our tripod and then joins in for a few words or maybe sounds would be a better term.
14 August 2025.
Here comes another soon with our Thursday explainer which looks at our
Times Past section. English history from the last Ice Age until
sort of yesterday, all to view in chronological order.
12 August 2025.
Soon has arrived (see previous news). The first of our August explainers looks at
The World section. Not only is it a fantastic learning tool to study our world and geography
but it also can be used to learn about statistical representation and, hopefuly, bring about greater understanding and more tolerance
in our world.
11 August 2025.
We're back, well on a Monday anyway and soon a Tuesday and Thursday. School of the Air will officially restart on Monday September 1st but, until then,
every Monday, the weekly vlog that will form part of our daily videos is starting.
Go take a look and watch for the butterfly.

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 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 sponsors (Support) and the various ways you an get in touch with us (Get In Touch).
