We've had an exciting and adventure-filled time in the forest this week, with plenty of learning, creativity, and outdoor exploration!
Fulham - "The Hungry Caterpillar"
Morden - Holi & St. Patrick's Day!
Putney Heath - A Shape-Filled Adventure!
Twickenham - “La Fheile Padraig sona Dhuit”!
Wimbledon Village - Running, Jumping, Crawling, Balancing & Dancing!
Wimbledon - Life Cycles!
This week at Wimbledon we have been really testing our physical abilities. The children have been doing some climbing in our “imagination tree”, clambering through the “squeezy tree” and balancing on the obstacle courses. It has been great to watch their perseverance and determination as they start the week a bit wobbly, and then show such proudness when they can do it independently by the end of the week
Winkworth - International Day of Forests!
Chiswick - Science Week!
Fulham - Physical Development & Expressive Art and Design!
Morden - Personal, Social and Emotional Development!
Putney Heath - Money, Money, Money!
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.

Chiswick - Pancakes & Paper Sunshines!
What an amazing week we've had in the forest, blessed with sunshine! It was a wonderful opportunity to follow up on our weather topic from last week. We've been venturing out onto the field, feeling the sunshine on our skin, and discussing how it makes us feel and why it's so important for us and nature.

What a fantastic week it has been in our forest nursery! Our Little Forest Folk-ers have been busy learning, creating, and celebrating together. From diving into the world of money to flipping pancakes over the fire and dressing up as their favourite book characters, there has been no shortage of adventure!
