It has been another gloriously muddy week in the forest with many of the children resembling the muddy beast from Room On A Broom, ‘It dripped and it squelched, as it strode from the ditch’, the perfect costume for World Book Day!!

What a sunny week we’ve had in Wimbledon. Sunny children who were ready to brave the still-cold forest came forth every morning and break new ground, break new ice, and break out new smiles at all the forest and each other had to offer.
