In light of the current restrictions on using our outdoor spaces, getting creative when it comes to outdoor learning is important.
Utilise your garden, window sills and get the windows and doors open as much as you can weather permitting, to bring the outside in. Take the opportunity when going for your one form of exercise a day to collect things along the way.
I hope you have been able to do some of these outdoor learning activities.

Some simple things to connect with nature to try in your garden if you have access to one or on you allocated form of exercise.
- Create a den (this can also be done inside) Use a bed sheet, blanket, under the table.
- Do some cloud watching.
- Listen to the birds song.
- Star gazing

The Big Butterfly count will take place from Friday 17 July – Sunday 9 August 2020.
After the record-breaking temperatures experienced in the UK, the chances of the public witnessing a wide range of butterflies is significantly higher.
However, as a result of the early summer heatwaves, the butterflies are in danger due to effected plant growth and condition from the droughts.

Can you create your own life cycle of a butterfly or another animal or insect?
You could use things from nature or just from around your home to create your life cycle.
