Although this week has been a little shorter due to the bank holiday Monday, it’s definitely been packed full of half term fun! 🍃 This week we’ve had not only our full-timers, but the great addition of our holiday campers! We have seen lots of returning faces as well as some new forest friends which have been a pleasure to welcome into camp this week.

We have had a wonderful week here at camp 🏕️ Forest life has been action-packed and full of sensory experiences this week, celebrating our thoughtful approach to the materials/resources we choose for our children.

This week we have been fostering a love of reading here at Little Forest Folk Fulham, creating some engaging reading corners and basing our forest set ups around some popular children’s literature 📚

This week we have been absolutely blessed by the glorious sunshine. We have ensured there’s been plenty of sun cream applications and changes into shorts/sun caps when it’s been particularly bright We have also had the paddling pool back out for the first time this year, a great indicator of the start of months full of fun-in-the-sun!️ 

We have had a literacy focus for the fortnight, focusing particularly on fostering a love of reading, and introducing early phonics skills. ☀️

Here at Fulham we’ve had a fantastic week, welcoming some new friends into our setting ️ Our current cohort continue to impress us with their welcoming nature and kind spirit when meeting their new forest mates, ensuring smooth and harmonious settles for our new starters. 

On camp we have had all sorts of activities including creating a library with great stories for the children to explore. A popular activity was making our own library cards in the creative area and encouraging further development for our older children by encouraging them to practise writing their own names on their library cards.

We have enjoyed our final week having the best time with our holiday campers! The children absolutely loved celebrating unicorn day - we created an amazing model unicorn in camp which the little ones were able to climb and practice their balance on.

This week marks our first Easter holiday camp week and as usual at Fulham we are all super excited to welcome not only some new faces to the forest but some regular holiday campers back too. 

We started off the wonderful week here in Fulham by participating in an egg hunt that Fulham Palace have organised for anyone who would like to join.

We started off our week in the forest with an amazing small world dinosaur island. The children really enjoyed the way the educators used and recycled some avocado skins as dinosaur eggs and how the big dinosaurs were guarding and protecting the baby dinosaur eggs waiting for the babies to hatch.

This week in our Fulham forest we have been thinking about how to improve and work on our independence. So, each day in camp we have come up with some amazing ideas on how to implement this through our activities.

What a wonderful week to write about this week in the Fulham forest!

What another fantastic week spent in our Fulham forest! 🍁🌳
