This wonderful week the weather was our greatest teacher and the children, our greatest inspiration.

What a week! We’ve had storms, sunshine.. then more storms!  

When it’s been safe to, we’ve had our camp set up as usual - welcoming the downpours and finding rich teachings within the changes in our natural environment. 

And what a week to be in that special place. Our holiday campers arrived, full of lively energy, buzzing with laughter and ready to discover everything the camp had to offer

This week our children buzzed with the rhythm of dancing bees, travelling from flower to flower as they explored the wider park. Their curiosity set the pace, and what a wonderful pace it was.

Children tested their abilities in all kinds of physical challenges: running, ball play, climbing, and navigating their way under and around trees. There was a real sense of stepping out of comfort zones and challenging themselves to do a little more. 

This week we stepped into Fairyland! With sparkling imaginations, magic wands and curious minds. We embraced a magical theme whilst developing literacy skills. We practised phonological awareness, such as spotting rhymes and identifying the same initial sounds.

Guided by the magical songs from birds we enjoyed the best natural and free soundtrack ever! From bird watching, nest building, cloud gazing

Understanding the World through hands-on experiences. We explored different occupations, and the children have truly thrown themselves into every role with curiosity, teamwork and lots of imagination. From digging up dinosaurs to solving mysteries and serving up pizzas or making coffees our camp has been as busy as the beekeepers in Spring! ☀️✨🌈🐝

This week we turned our forest into our very own Coachella Forest 2026! - a wonderful festival packed with live music where imagination and creativity run wild! Dress code? Big smiles, muddy clothes, wellies or forestproof trainers and a rock and roll attitude! 

Pirates, unicorns & fairies. Our little explorers journeyed far and wide this week, guided by imagination, curiosity, and the spirit of adventure.

Such a beautiful round up to an amazing Holiday Camp. We’ve been blessed with glorious sunny weather, the Walled Garden beginning to bloom and blossom and as usual we’ve had a great bunch of campers who have brought new energy to our Fulham camp 🏕️ Here’s some of the fun we have been up to this week:balancing between logs and crossing different sizes of planks. While the little ones used the tunnel as their secret and cosy rabbit hole home, the oldest enjoyed playing Jenga for many turns!🥚🌼🐰 

We had a Rabbit tunnel consisting of two climbing frames made out of pallets and a hula-hoop with two long bunny ears. This was part of our challenging Easter obstacle course. Our little bunnies had lots of fun climbing, going down the rabbit hole through the hula-hoop and the pile of tires, balancing between logs and crossing different sizes of planks. While the little ones used the tunnel as their secret and cosy rabbit hole home, the oldest enjoyed playing Jenga for many turns!🥚🌼🐰 

This week, we welcomed the busiest season in the forest, along with the hungriest mini-beast of all! From Monday to Friday 🐛🐞🐝🌸🌼🧚🌈

What a magical week full of sunshine! With temperatures higher than usual, longer days and bright mornings, we have been buzzing around the colourful and vibrant Fulham Palace Gardens. With the spring equinox around the corner, it seems that spring fairies may be hiding behind blossom trees! From lovely ladybirds visiting us daily on camp, busy honeybees and baby caterpillars hanging from the trees on their silk threads, we are embarking on a new season of adventure in the forest! 🐛🐞🐝🌸🌼🧚🌈

We continued our Bug Hotel project and read our book of the week, Hotel for Bugs, which gave us great ideas for extending our hotel at camp.

For our World Book Day celebration, Irem led a Helicopter Story session with each member of the camp. There is no better way to honour the medium of literature than letting our adventurers pick up the pen themselves. Irem had some 1-1 time with every child,

Without a doubt, this has been the most spatial week of the month! We were on a mission to explore the solar system and launched a rocket into space every day. With spring around the corner and winter gradually leaving the forest, it's been the perfect time to understand how nature and seasons on our amazing planet work! 🌸🌻

After lots of teamwork making pancakes, we had a lovely sticky jam. We packaged up our creations and then took them outside to eat, picnic style! 🫐

What a torrential storm of kindness this week has been, pouring magic manners over our heads and spilling heart-shaped actions everywhere.

The frequent rain has meant there has been full puddles for splashing, jumping and a muddy part of our camp has become a perfect area for muddy digging and wet mud moulding 🪵 When the rain got a little too torrential, we headed inside for an adventure in the palace museum.

What better way to finish this wonderful winter month than with magical adventures and a great outdoor expedition? 🥾🌿🪾
