It’s great to see a lot of museums and leisure places offer home educators days. Not only does this mean the activities during that day have been carefully planned to accommodate home educators, it also means a lot of families from all over meeting and making new friends.
We’ve only recently started participating in such events, as 7 year old is happy to venture out more.
Jodrell Bank
The first such event we managed to attend was at Jodrell Bank (Macclesfield). It was a day full of exciting activities, and the first time little person heard about Tim Peakes. From learning all about textures and smells on different planets, to how astronauts feel when they return to Earth.
Knowsley safari park
This was the most recent place we visited. Safari parks are fun in general, but this was much more than a usual trip. There was a lovely classroom session, which introduced the children to endangered animals, and a very interesting talk about who to blame when it came to hunters/poachers.
A fab walk full of more info, again explaining loss of habitats, need for recycling and what to look out for when buying products. The best part, by far, was the bus ride. A lovely 6 mile ride, full of adventure and smiles!
We’re hoping to hop along to more home ed days, and will definitely update with each on we attend. However it is a fantastic opportunity for children and parents/caters alike. So thank you to all those who take the time to organise such fab days!
