This week at Little Forest Folk Morden has been such a fun one, we have been relishing in all the remaining time with some of our leavers and our sessional children before they head off for the rest of the summer. ☀️

One of the most exciting moments was “constructing a pond” right in our car park - completely from scratch! Our curious little learners gathered pebbles, layered the base with sand and worked together to bring the pond to life.

Following the intent of the week, we set off an adventure walk to Cannon Hill Common to do some research on the local area. The children sang, ran and skipped their way all the way to the pond where we fed the ducks and ducklings, reflecting on what makes a pond different from a river and which famous River is nearby. We’re all really excited to make our own pond back at the nursery and look forward to all the new wildlife this will bring to the forest!

We started off our week with a fantastic new arrival to the forest, Misty the Canoe 🛶. Our adventurers were so excited for this new resource & they spent the whole week sailing across oceans to different countries & continents 🗺️. With each country they sailed to, it gave us the opportunity to talk in more detail about where we had travelled, which helped us learn more about different cultures.
