Fulham - Happy Hibernation, Bear! 🐻‍❄️🧤

Fulham - Happy Hibernation, Bear! 🐻‍❄️🧤

Once upon a time, there was a lovely friendship adventure, secret messages on paper boats and hibernating bears! This week, we read, recalled and discussed ‘The Boy and the Bear’ book daily at circle time. We noticed the importance of sharing and the joy of spending time with others as we went through different seasons. We also learnt about the differences we find in nature and in the types of clothes we wear by observing the whimsical illustrations. When revisiting the lovely story, some children made connections and found out where Bear had been all this winter time and why! ❄️🌨️🏔️🧸

Twickenham - A Busy Week of Owls, Crafts & Adventure!

Twickenham - A Busy Week of Owls, Crafts & Adventure!

Our arts and crafts table has been very busy as one day we made owl masks and hooted our way round the forest flapping our arms and swooping around. Some of the children pretended they were the baby owls sitting on crates (branches) and others were mummy owls flying silently back to the babies.

Wimbledon - Magic and Adventure in the Forest

Wimbledon - Magic and Adventure in the Forest

The forest is a place for magic and adventure and this week that is exactly what it was! 

The children put their forest knowledge to the test and created their own maps of the space they enjoy every day. We started by speaking about things we could see around us and then used our memory to draw things that we see on the walk-ins or adventure walks. This led to some incredible maps of the forest all through the eyes of our little explorers! 

Twickenham - A Week of Welcome Back!

Twickenham - A Week of Welcome Back!

Welcome back everyone, we are so pleased to see you all again! The children have been thrilled to return to the back section of our forest as we have moved into a different section for the next 3 months, which will allow our other zone to have a rest from the impact of 20 children per day running around and exploring! Our move also offers us a chance to explore a new area of the forest in a different season.

Morden - Pinecones, Pom Poms and Pipecleaners!

Morden - Pinecones, Pom Poms and Pipecleaners!

We've had a brilliant time in our last full week before Christmas! Our Morden Little Forest Folk-ers had a lovely time decorating pinecones for Christmas. Using pompoms and pipe cleaners, they turned natural treasures into colourful decorations. It was a simple, happy activity that combined creativity, fine motor skills and loads of communicative language while they played.
