We’ve had a super week in the Fulham Forest! The children have really enjoyed participating in lots of adult-led activities which have kept them very entertained and learning lots of new things.
Morden - Play Dough Pizzas
Putney Heath - Marvellous Mud!
Twickenham - Mr Fox
It has been great to finally have a full five-day week with all the children and staff returning from their lovely winter break. There’s nothing like a busy forest full of little people exploring and embracing the natural environment. I think even our three chickens; Shadow, Marge and Michelle missed them (or maybe the tasty treats they offer!).
Wandsworth - Christmas Trees & A Giant Crow!
Wimbledon - A visit to the Park & Library
Another busy and exciting week at Wimbledon! We started off our week with a trip to our local park and the library. It was so great for our children to be able to experience some of the amazing local spaces we have around us. The local park was full of giant logs for us to climb on, muddy puddles to jump in and a giant green space to show off our super speed.
Chiswick - A Short & Sweet Week
Welcoming the children back and seeing all their familiar and beautiful faces has brought about a lot of appreciation and love for us all! We have been sharing all our Santa stories with our friends and news of all that he delivered to us as we fell asleep with empty stockings and arose with them full of joy.
Fulham - New Year, Same Fabulous Forest!
Happy New Year to our wonderful Little Forest Folk families, what a fantastic first week back it has been! We have all been so excited to welcome back all our little ones for a fresh new term here at Fulham and the children have been buzzing to be back. It is such a joy to see them so excited to jump right back into forest fun with their friends.
Morden - Banana Pancakes on the Fire Pit
A much loved activity this week was gathering at the fire circle to cook some banana pancakes!! The children got stuck in early in the week to help us to start collecting fire wood and kindling. "this is a good stick! listen to it snap!" we filled our little bags and saved them for our camp fire activity later in the week!
Putney Heath - Muddy Play in Muddy Puddles
Twickenham - Clay Creations & Lots of Painting
Wandsworth - Clay Sensory Play
Wimbledon - Welcoming in the New Year
Chiswick - Pipe Cleaner Candy Canes, Cotton Pad Snowmen & Pine Cone Reindeers
Fulham - Tinsel and Pom Poms!
Morden - 'Sparkly Glitter Multicoloured Snowflake'
We've had a lovely week winding down in the forest before our break! It has been quite a lot milder than the previous week which has been ideal for the creepy crawlies, bugs and insects! We have taken the opportunity to go on bug hunts, using our magnifying glass and identifying bigger and smaller animals! This has been a great segway into discussing how to use gentle hands and controlled movements!
