Our Week in the Forest
Happy Friday everyone! 🍄
We’ve made it to the end of our first week of the summer term, and it’s been so exciting to welcome our sessional children back after the break.
This week’s focus has been expressive art and design, which has sparked lots of creativity and excitement in the forest at Little Forest Folk Morden. We kicked things off with large scale self-portraits. The children saw their photos taped onto big sheets of paper and were invited to draw the rest of their bodies. It was wonderful to see the colours they chose to represent themselves and how uniquely each child approached the activity. 🌈
Another highlight was our paint-throwing activity. We set up a large sheet of paper with a variety of paints and brushes, and the children had great fun throwing paint to create a vibrant and unique collaborative artwork. 🍄
We also spent time exploring colour mixing through a range of hands on stations. Using different resources and the primary colours, the children experimented with creating new shades. One favourite was the mud kitchen, where they used coloured water, pipettes, and containers to mix and combine colours. Our adventurers spent a long time here, fully engaged in their experiments. 🌈
Overall, it’s been a week full of fun, colour and creativity, perfect for welcoming everyone back after Easter.
We hope you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the warmer days ahead! 🍄
