An exciting week in the forest with bugs, exploring and magic wand making! 

This week at Wimbledon we have been doing lots of big hunts! Along the way, we have noticed some little frogs hopping around on the meadow and the children have had a wonderful chance to look at them up-close.

This week at Wimbledon we have had lots of exciting things happening with all of our new friends! It has been great to welcome everyone into the forest and show them all of our amazing activities that we do. Our returning Little Forest Folk-ers have also been such great helpers with getting their new friends settled.

It has been a week of sad farewells and warm welcomes! We have said goodbye to a lot of our forest friends this week as they go off to embark on their next adventures.

This week in Wimbledon, we have had a busy week! We started the week by playing dominoes. We used a wide variety of different objects within the forest to line up and knock over. One fan favourite was the tyres. These took a few attempts to line up before rolling them into each other and watching them fall over!

This week in Wimbledon, as well as some more lovely weather, we have been welcomed by lots of new faces! Whether these faces be holiday campers or new forest friends, we have welcomed them all with warm arms! We have enjoyed supporting them not only during their play but also during our walk-ins and outs and offering them a hand to hold to show them the way.

This week our children have been mixing the best of two great things, the Olympics and the forest! We have had lots of fun building and exploring our obstacle course this week.

This week, we have embraced the warm weather by exploring ice play! One super fun activity explored how long it took for ice to melt in different parts of the forest; we placed the ice in sunny and shady areas around camp and then watched and waited…it took a small ice cube 4 minutes and 54 seconds!

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.

This week in Wimbledon, we discovered that our meadow was home to baby frogs! The children were very kind and caring, following one of our important forest rules whilst we carefully picked them up and explored the size and weight of the frog.

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!

This week at Wimbledon there have been lots of chances for us to explore the forest around us, and to look for any little bugs that may be hiding in the long grass!

This week has been full of colour! With the gorgeous sun finally showing its face, we’ve had a lot of fun at Little Forest Folk Wimbledon. 

We have been spoilt this week with the weather and it has only aided our amazing activities organised by our educators, including a history lesson led by Carrie.

This week has seen many activities and play focussing on movement in one way or another as our intelligent educators continue to challenge and inspire our Little Forest Folk-ers!

This week we saw the return of adventure walks to Beech Tree Forest. This was our first walk here of 2024 and how we have missed it!
