Another wonderful week has passed in the forest, filled with all sorts of weather and plenty of adventures!
Fulham - storms, sunshine.. then more storms
Morden - A stretchy playdough experiment!
Putney Heath - Emotion Monsters & Magical Creatures
This week has definitely been an adventurous one, with lots of rain and thunderstorms. Despite the change in weather, the children have adapted fantastically well. It has been quite a contrast to last week, when the weather was warm and muggy. Throughout the week, we have been exploring emotions and feelings through a variety of exciting activities.
Twickenham - Wriggly Worms & Hug a Cat Day!
Welcome back to the forest, we have had a marvelous week! We have created a lovely little selfcare area in the forest which includes a mirror near the hand washing area where our little explorers can see what they’re doing when they are washing their faces after meals as well as allowing them to check their faces for paint or mud after they have washed their hands.
Wimbledon - jump, clap, jump, clap!
What a wild week we've had with the weather! After last week's heatwave, this week brought torrential downpours and plenty of puddles. A huge thank you to all of our Wimbledon families for being so flexible and understanding during our weather-related evacuations, and for bringing lots of spare clothes at pick-up. Your support is always greatly appreciated!
Wimbledon Village - Rain & Robots!
This week has seen a real difference in weather from the week before, but with our rain coats and boots back on we have had so much fun in the forest! The rain has given us opportunities to explore and discover new ways to transport the water around. Using cups and gutters, our little explorers have enjoyed finding ways of emptying one puddle into another, thinking critically and using what they already understood whilst exploring what they didn’t. Using team work and communication they solved the task and seeing the water drain down hill gave everyone a great sense of pride!
Winkworth - Rain & Shine!
Chiswick - Exploring Nature Around Us!
Fulham -Sunny Adventures, New Friendships & Forest Magic 🌿☀️
Morden - ⭐️The Hammock is Back!
Putney Heath - New Adventures at Robin Camp
Twickenham - Hot Days Spent by the River
Wimbledon - Ice Play and Foraged Elderflower Cordial
On Tuesday, we enjoyed some exciting ice play. The children used spray bottles, squeeze bottles and little wooden hammers to melt and crack giant ice cubes into smaller pieces. It was fascinating watching the colours mix together and slowly turn into a deep purple. We also began making our very own elderflower cordial!
Wimbledon Village - Caterpillars to Chrysalis, Waiting for the Butterflies
Winkworth - Patience, Curiosity and Scientific Thinking!
Chiswick - Confidence, Balance and Coordination
Fulham - Ball Play, Climbing and Navigating the Trees
This week our children buzzed with the rhythm of dancing bees, travelling from flower to flower as they explored the wider park. Their curiosity set the pace, and what a wonderful pace it was.
Children tested their abilities in all kinds of physical challenges: running, ball play, climbing, and navigating their way under and around trees. There was a real sense of stepping out of comfort zones and challenging themselves to do a little more.
