Once a week a friend and I organise World Explorers – a get together for home educating under 7s and their families.

We travel to different countries and explore places through all the senses.

This week we went to India. We have been to Egypt, Mexico, France, Australia, next week is Japan. It’s a great way to travel when air fares are out of reach.

Activities and objects are provided, people interpret and play with them in different ways, together and independently.

Researching these sessions has made me realise how little I learnt in school about the world we live in.
