Our tiny forest chefs spent many an hour in the mud kitchen preparing food for the sea creatures and learning what each animal might like to eat. We were fascinated to learn that Octopi have 9 brains and love to eat crabs, sea snails and small fish.

“Spring has sprung and the grass is riz, I wonder where the birdies is..?” this is a very old poem indeed, but it has certainly been true for this week, although our birds at Little Forest Folk Twickenham are certainly not shy or elusive as robins congregate at the edges of the snack circle and parakeets, woodpeckers, coal tits and doves all sing loudly about the glorious weather, worms and nest building materials.

Twickenham - "Cave Baby"!
The Very Hungry Caterpillar came to the forest this week as we read the story by Eric Carle and talked about the life cycle of the butterfly. One of our super educators created an amazing caterpillar head with cardboard and paint and provided a variety of fruit which we then enjoyed feeding to the caterpillar head through his large round mouth. Naming of the fruit in turn led to discussions around good food for caterpillars and children to help them all grow and be healthy.

Twickenham - Superheroes and Statisticians!
We have had a wonderful week. It’s been a very busy month of birthdays with children turning four. This week we had two boys turning 4 and the forest was full of superheroes in celebration. Masks and capes, costumes and muscle flexing were all part of our lively day in the crisp chilly spring sunshine.
Twickenham - Numbers, Weights and Volume!
It has been a Marvellous week of mathematicians calculating their way around the forest, counting pinecones, gathering sets of twigs, and washing and balancing stones into wobbly towers. Our creative team of educators have devised all sorts of games to encourage the development of our children’s knowledge of numbers, volume, weights, and shapes.
