We had a lot of woodland visitors come to see us in the forest this week which was very exciting! It helped us appreciate the forest even more and made us think about things we can do to make sure the forest is a welcoming place for all.
Putney Heath - Machinery, Robotics and Construction!
Twickenham - Ahoy there, me hearties!
Wimbledon Village - Hot, Sticky and Muggy!
Wimbledon - Fire Engines!
Little Forest Folk Wimbledon has been a hive of activity this week! We have had fire engines made out of pallets, boats made from wooden planks and doctors surgeries made using any bits and bobs from the forest. It has been great to see the children’s play develop throughout the week depending on what items there are around them.
Chiswick - Big Scavenger Hunt
Fulham - Jenga!
Morden - Community Puppets!
What an interesting week we had in the forest! As we reflected on our theme of community and the different people who make up our community (including ourselves!) we wanted to express what we’ve learned through the arts, specifically through a puppet show. We decided to make wooden puppets that reflect how we see ourselves.

This week we have been really focused on rebuilding and repurposing a bird house that we found. Our children at Little Forest Folk Wimbledon are so interested in the birds around the forest and finding ways to look after them, so when we found a bird house that needed a bit of help the children were so happy!
