Such a wonderful week at Wimbledon!

This week we’ve taken some time to focus on the change in weather and incorporating the start of Autumn into our play. Our favourite activity has certainly been painting with some lovely autumnal colours. The children also tried painting with some natural paint made from turmeric in the week, the gorgeous bright pigment from this really helped embrace the Autumn colours of the forest!

Utilising the natural resources around us, we have enjoyed lots of games with conkers this week. We have been rolling them around and seeing how quickly they can go down guttering pipes and tubes; this has created a fun racing game that everyone has loved getting involved in.

We have also enjoyed some early Halloween adventure walks, with the children pointing out the “spooky” things we could see along the way.

Our reading area has been filled with lots of books about Black History Month, and we have been exploring the stories of some great black people in history and seeing the amazing ways they have changed and impacted how our lives are now.

A week full of rich storytelling and exciting adventures!
