We’ve had another magical week in the forest! We are truly gearing up for the festive season now and have all enjoyed lots of fun activities to get us in the festive spirit!
Putney Heath - Cracking Christmas Crafts
The air is filled with the delightful sounds of jingle bells and the warmth of festive cheer as our enchanted forest embraces the magic of December celebrations. This week has been a whirlwind of multicultural festivities, fostering a spirit of unity and appreciation for the diverse traditions that make up this December period.
Twickenham - Frosty the Snowman!
The air feels crisp and chilly while the bare Plane tree watches the children enjoy its colourful leaves that have fallen all over the meadow. Everyone is feeling the excitement as we countdown to the holidays. We enjoy looking for our friend from Santa’s workshop, Ruby, who watches with a big grin as we scour the bushes and peer up at branches to find where she is hiding.
Wandsworth - The Wandsworth Stormtroopers!
Wimbledon - Christmas Decorations
Chiswick - Wooden Cookie Baubles!
What a chilly start to December in the forest, with the winter breeze greeting our faces and making our Little Forest Folk-ers' cheeks pink and rosy in the cold winter air. Our frosty week was filled with much creativity and fun. We had lots of magical Christmas-themed activities for everyone to enjoy!
Fulham - Festive Season in the Fulham Forest!
Morden - Christmas Trees
Putney Heath - 'The Colour Monster'
Twickenham - Everyone Meet Ruby!
This week in the forest, we wore our mathematical hats to observe the forest in a different way. We looked around the forest to spot different shapes and patterns. We also put our counting skills to the test. First, we explored sizes by searching the forest floor for the biggest and smallest leaves.
Wandsworth - "Tio de Nadal"
Wimbledon - Hammering and Mud Play!
Chiswick - Chiswick's Culinary Creations!
Fulham - National Tree Week!
Morden - "Ahh, smells like Christmas!"
Putney Heath - Impromptu Dance Parties!
Twickenham - Winter is Finally Here!
Wandsworth - Winter is Coming!
There's been a definitive chill across the camp this week. Regardless, we’re deeply pleased to say that it seems to have had little effect on the children's spirits. The wooden platforms took center stage one afternoon as the children played a great game of 'The Floor is Lava.’ With our educators, Sam and Simon, conducting the game, the children went into a state of euphoria.
Wimbledon - Ice Ice Baby!
Chiswick - Forest Cafe & Railway Adventures!
We've had a wonderful week in the Chiswick forest!
We had an exciting shop and cafe set up in the forest this week, where all our Little Forest Folk-ers had the opportunity to practise role playing - with some taking on the job of shop workers, whilst others were customers, stopping by to spend their imaginary money on leafy salads & very wooden hotdogs!
