We had a fantastic week exploring our beautiful forest. The sunny skies and breezy winds added an extra touch of magic to our day! Here’s a look back at our autumn adventures:
Fulham - Little Forest Musicians, Artists & Bus Drivers
Morden - Owl Babies
Putney Heath - Further STEM experiments!
Twickenham - Dragons, Knights and Imaginative Play
Wimbledon Village - Construction Site Role Play
This week our Little Forest Folk-ers have quite literally been into, on top of, under, around and among absolutely everything! While educators have been encouraging children to use their bodies in a multitude of ways, be it small and controlled actions to make marks or huge sweeping movements in action songs, we have seen perseverance, independence and resilience in abundance and we are very proud of the little ones for getting stuck in!
Wimbledon - Kindness Week!

Chiswick - Welcome Back, Little Adventurers!
Fulham - Little Forest Folk Animal Sanctuary!
With a particular focus on the ‘Understanding the World’ stage of development, we have named this week ‘Occupation Week’. We have explored a large array of ‘jobs’ and discussed what we think our parents/guardians’ occupations are. There were some fantastic roleplay areas set up throughout the week, where children could explore many different exciting workplaces.
Morden - Firework Magic!
Putney Heath - STEM!
Twickenham - Reconstruction, Rangoli Art and Rambunctious Rhythms!
Our happy Little Forest Folk-ers have delighted in frolicking in the autumn forest this week. Gathering up armfuls of dry leaves and tossing them up into the air, filling boxes and then climbing in to wiggle around comfortably and creating nests for themselves, as well as using leaves as canvases for their creative painting,
