Putney Heath - Exploration, Creativity, and Meaningful Learning

Our Winter Olympics theme has brought a week full of exploration, creativity, and meaningful learning experiences. The children have fully embraced the spirit of teamwork, perseverance, and imagination as they engaged in a wide range of activities designed to inspire curiosity and confidence.

Early in the week, they explored art inspired by the skies above us. Using mixed colours, they painted stormy scenes with different shades of white and purple. Thick paint was swirled across the paper to represent strong winds, encouraging the children to think about movement, weather and expression through art.

children discussed the 8 days of Hanukkah and began making their potato latkes (a traditional Hanukkah treat). First, they shredded the potatoes, then the onion before adding a bit of flour, 1 egg and some salt. Then, they built and tended to the fire before firing off the potato pancakes! They were deeeeeelish! Shoutout to the little chefs!👨🏻‍🍳

After a lot of interest in fairytales, our week began with a touch of magic as the children set out to create their own mystical wands. With excitement in their eyes, they gathered sticks scattered across the forest floor. Each child then selected vibrant strings and ribbons, wrapping them around the sticks with great care and creativity.

What a fantastic week it has been for our Little Forest Folk-ers as we began our new learning theme, “Our Planet.” The children have shown so much curiosity, creativity and enthusiasm as they explored everything from ancient dinosaurs to the world we live in today. Their energy and imagination have made for a truly special week outdoors!
