This week in the forest, our Little Forest Folk-ers have been loving preparing for the festive season - we have been using some pinecones which we collected on one of our adventure walks recently to make a little Christmas tree!

This week in the forest, we wore our mathematical hats to observe the forest in a different way. We looked around the forest to spot different shapes and patterns. We also put our counting skills to the test. First, we explored sizes by searching the forest floor for the biggest and smallest leaves.

There's been a definitive chill across the camp this week. Regardless, we’re deeply pleased to say that it seems to have had little effect on the children's spirits. The wooden platforms took center stage one afternoon as the children played a great game of 'The Floor is Lava.’ With our educators, Sam and Simon, conducting the game, the children went into a state of euphoria.

We've had a wonderful week in the Chiswick forest!
We had an exciting shop and cafe set up in the forest this week, where all our Little Forest Folk-ers had the opportunity to practise role playing - with some taking on the job of shop workers, whilst others were customers, stopping by to spend their imaginary money on leafy salads & very wooden hotdogs!

Our forest has come to life with the children going on adventures with colourful characters from our favourite books. At the beginning of the week, we had a visit from a gang of crayons who were up in arms about their predicament of not being able to take part in colourful activities. So, our little adventurers decided to ask for their help in making the forest look like a rainbow fell from the sky and splashed its magnificent colours all over the forest.

Chiswick - Canvas of Colour and Creativity!
This week, our woodland has blossomed into a vibrant canvas of colour and creativity! 🌈 We kicked off our adventures with an artistic exploration—rolling balls down ramps to mix colours in mesmerising ways. The forest transformed into an open-air studio as we dived into hands-on messy painting sessions, leaving behind a tapestry of lively handprints. ✋🎨
