Our little adventurers celebrated Diwali by making small candles out of clay. They shaped the clay and decorated them with colourful leaves that they picked from the forest floor.
Fulham - 🎃✨ Maths, Mud & Magic: Counting Down to Halloween!✨🕷️🍂
This week at Little Forest Folk Chiswick, our camp transformed into a world of witches, potions and mathematical mischief! 🧙♀️💫 As Halloween crept closer, our little explorers mixed imagination with number play - stirring up bubbling potions, measuring mysterious ingredients and spotting patterns in every corner of the forest.
Morden - ✨Morning Circles and Favourite Books✨
We’ve also been enjoying reading some much beloved stories such as Dear Zoo and Hairy McClary which the children can repeat phrases back from altogether, learning rhymes as they go! Our educators have also brought in their favourite stories and these have inspired some amazing games of chase where everyone turned into a Spider-Man!

Putney Heath - Our Planet, Curiosity, Creativity and Enthusiasm
What a fantastic week it has been for our Little Forest Folk-ers as we began our new learning theme, “Our Planet.” The children have shown so much curiosity, creativity and enthusiasm as they explored everything from ancient dinosaurs to the world we live in today. Their energy and imagination have made for a truly special week outdoors!
Wimbledon - The Gruffalo and Fishpond Woods
The Gruffalo lives in Fishpond Woods and for years the children have been walking past his house everyday without seeing him. This week, however, we were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the Gruffalo, the fox and the owl! We then went onto site and saw the mouse’s reading house and the snake's log pile den. The children then had to find some more logs to help the snake rebuild his house, to help ensure he couldn’t be found by the Gruffalo!
Wimbledon Village - Galactic Fun Continues!
Twickenham - Where do we live?
Winkworth - Autumn is Awesome!
We started the week hunting for mushrooms in the Arboretum. Our intrepid Little Forest Folk-ers set out on their adventure walk with maps of the Arboretum and laminated sheets to identify different types of fungi. It was wonderful to see the children excitedly point out landmarks and signposts that they saw on the map in real life.
First they transformed into billy goats on an exciting adventure all the way to the wetlands of Winkworth Arboretum. By the lake they looked for the right size sticks to be their billy goat horns and attached them to their head bands.
Chiswick - The Season of Change is in Full Swing
What a truly wonderful week it’s been in the forest! The season of change is in full swing and the children have fully embraced the magic of autumn. The crunch of leaves beneath their boots, the golden colours glistening in the sunshine and the fresh, earthy scent in the air have made every moment outdoors feel exciting and full of discovery.
