More galactic fun continues in the forest! Safely back to earth.

This week we had Galactic Fun in the forest! Our Terrestrial Explorers travelled through time and space to transport themselves to planets all over the solar system, learning about the different planets and the things that make them different!

Another big event this week was when another educator arranged for the Wimbledon horses to stop and talk to us about how they are cared for and different ways that the horses themselves are looked after.

Our explorers have considered what could be used as bedding in a stable for a horse, created stables of their own using recycled junk modelling materials, coloured in a chicken using egg shaped chalks and helped to remove bugs from ‘Poor Sammy’s’ tummy after he ‘picked and licked’! All great activities for farm discussions and hygiene around food.

Our forest pirates then set about creating their pirate ship and their very own treasure box! ARRRRRRRRR pieces of eight! And after a very naughty Pirate Porpoise Crabb whisked their amazing treasure box away our vengeful pirates followed, with a dropped treasure map in their hands!

This week, the children have enjoyed becoming super heroes and used the masks they were given as inspiration for creating masks of their own. These masks took many forms, from Chase (Paw Patrol), to Elsa (Frozen) and also some wonderfully surreal ones being created! 

Our crops and plants have enjoyed the water this week, as most of our harvest is coming to an end. We have enjoyed supplying the kitchen team with our potatoes for them to cook with and have enjoyed tasting our homegrown organic carrots when they were ready!

This week was somewhat of a rollercoaster of a week - whilst we had a lovely week, we have had to wave goodbye to some more of our wonderful friends, who have graduated from the nursery.

It’s been a wonderfully physical week in the forest this week! For our intrepid explorers, we installed a variety of additional climbing, scrambling, jumping, balancing, pulling and pushing activities into our camp to really focus on the healthy choices for activities.

On Tuesday, some of our sea creatures got trapped in giant icebergs and it was our job to set them free! We put them in our tuff tray and used tools to help break the ice apart. This, along with the temperature in the forest, meant we had the frozen creatures free in no time!
