The children enjoyed an exciting nature walk to the pond, where we went to visit the ducks and geese. During our walk, we talked about how to tell the difference between male and female ducks, observing lots of interesting wildlife.

The children noticed blossoming flowers, sprouting trees and different birds flying around the forest. We talked about how birds live in nests and then went on a little search around the forest to see if we could find some. It was wonderful to see the children learning more about the nature around them.

What a fun and uplifting week it has been in the forest! With spring feeling just around the corner, we’ve been soaking up the sunshine and enjoying spending more time exploring the gardens.

We’ve had a wonderfully festive few weeks at Little Forest Folk Chiswick, filled with music, creativity and lots of Christmas cheer. Here’s a little look at what the children have been enjoying as we head towards the holidays.

It has been a wonderful first week of December filled with entertainment and learning. We are so proud of the children for expressing their creativity and curiosity whilst embracing their environment.

We started the week by reading stories. Goldilocks and the Three Bears as well as We’re Going on a Bear Hunt. This led us into our drama session which took place on an adventure walk. We also went on an actual bear hunt during an adventure walk where a teddy was hiding in the forest and we had to then go find them!

Despite the chilly air settling around us today, the children embraced the outdoors with enthusiasm and warmth, filling the forest with creativity, laughter and energetic play.

On Monday we began with puddles and raindrops, but that didn’t stop our fun one bit! The children embraced the rainy weather with big smiles, splashing through puddles and keeping warm under the tarps.

This week, we have been exploring Bonfire Night in all its sparkly glory. Our Little Forest Folk-ers learned about the history of the event, why bonfires are celebrated and most importantly how to stay safe while enjoying the fireworks.

he rainy days have arrived, but that didn’t stop our Little Forest Folk-ers from having a wonderful week full of creativity, exploration and adventure! The children embraced the wet weather with smiles and excitement, turning every puddle and raindrop into part of the fun.

Our little adventurers celebrated Diwali by making small candles out of clay. They shaped the clay and decorated them with colourful leaves that they picked from the forest floor.

Our Little Forest Folk-ers have been exploring a wonderful selection of books, not only about Halloween and autumn, but also celebrating Black History and learning about the achievements of those who brought positive change to the world.
