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.

Art continued to bloom through leaf printing, where the children pressed their chosen leaves onto paper to reveal the intricate vein patterns and outlines. Their excitement at seeing the prints emerge was infectious and the prints themselves were stunning, each one a unique celebration of nature’s detail.

Although the weather has not been the best this week, the children still had a wonderful time exploring and learning in the forest. Our new Little Forest Folk-ers are gradually settling in, while our existing children have been very welcoming, inviting their new friends to join in their play. It has been lovely to see friendships forming and growing.

To keep our learning rich and connected, we continued exploring shapes and patterns. The children created delicious “ice cream” patterns with scoops of raspberry and lemon flavours. They also crafted colourful caterpillars, carefully arranging patterns to challenge their growing maths skills. Our older children heading off to school were especially engaged, showing confidence and pride in their creations.

We’ve been diving into literacy with lots of enthusiasm. The children have been practicing letter formation through name writing, taking pride in recognising and writing the letters that make up their names. Our older children also engaged in phonics play, linking initial letter sounds with familiar words. It’s been a great way to develop early reading and writing confidence in a playful and meaningful way.
