A Note on Safety During Nature Rambles

14 Dec

Australia has more deadly snakes than any other country worldwide. It is also home to numerous poisonous spiders and sea creatures. Teaching our children to have a healthy respect of all creatures is wise. A general awareness while out and about will encourage them to be cautious when their curiosity perks up. Please, never try to pick up a wild…

A Curriculum Web for Nature Study

Nature Study

14 Dec

The curriculum web based on nature study as a central topic enables us to understand that all subjects, and life itself, are interconnected. When we understand this, it takes the pressure off to tick all those boxes and finish all the pages in the science, maths and English language books. We realize learning is a life long journey. Earth Science…

My son LOVES!! fishing and he’s constantly plotting a plan to convince me to take him to his favourite spots. He knows he can persuade me with the promise of a nature ramble, journal entries and opportunities for discovery. He may speculate, ‘I wonder what we would find today?’ Well, that’s enough pondering to satisfy my curiosity. Fishing we will…

There are so many spiders at our place. Our guests are very cautious when visiting and I’m quite sure a few leave traumatised as they have a spider phobia or something. I don’t particularly like spiders either but if they’re not sitting on me I’m ok with being near them. Every spring we have funnel webs on our window frames….

Stumpy-Tailed Skinks

Two stumpy tailed skinks visited our compost pile this week. It was a warm summers day and they didn’t mind us at all. They were content munching away at a tomato. This is not surprising since they like to eat fruit and plant matter. The lizards inspired us to pull out our nature journals. We sketched the skink and chose…

We have really enjoyed the program this term. We have gotten outside more often and the children are definitely taking more notice of things when we are out. Having a place to share what we have done and seen has been an encouragement to keep it up. I sometimes felt like we could spend longer on some topics as they were so interesting but that is probably just my obsessive "we must cover everything now" problem.

We began our homeschool journey this year keen to explore all that nature study entails. I had searched the web for weeks to research what we would use as our framework. I cannot describe the elation I felt when I came across an AUSTRALIAN nature study guide! Marie has done all the hard work and put together a wonderfully elaborate resource for all ages. You can dip your toe in or dive right into all the ideas and links. There’s so much here we could spend all week doing nature study, and often we do.

We didn’t find out about the program until about half way through term, so we played catch up most of the time. I love how open ended the lessons are, but with enough structure to work well for those children needing such a program. We have been able to cover much of the required curriculum whilst enjoying the activities we love. Your program has been such a blessing to us, because we needed a change to our homeschooling lessons which would still cover curriculum, but would enable us to relax and enjoy “school” together. Thank you.

I looked high and low online for an Australian nature based curriculum and when I found Australian Nature study Guide on Instagram I was so excited to have finally found something that my family can relate to. My favourite thing about this guide is that Marie is so hands on and involved with her customers. I have never felt alone in the journey, she is there to guide and encourage us every step of the way in the Facebook group. Thanks Marie for welcoming us to your nature study family 🙂
