What a super busy and fun week we have had! We loved having the holiday camp children here, especially seeing lots of familiar faces and old friends. For some returning from starting school in September it was as if they’d never left!

As we have so many chestnuts falling from the trees, our children have found many ways to keep themselves occupied with them. The children have understood that the outside of the conkers have a prickly covering.

Interesting question from our open day

We hosted an open day yesterday at Little Forest Folk Fulham and had some interesting questions from parents. For the first time hardly anyone was concerned with what we do when it’s raining, but instead were focused on learning how we teach our children.

Chiswick - Leaves

A lot of our children’s interests this week have been centered around leaves.  We brought a rake into the forest. The children had numerous amounts of ideas of what they wanted to use the rake for. Some children tried to create a path by clearing leaves. They called this path the road and it had to be used for driving only.

We have had the most unexpected fun this week playing with bark chippings! We had a huge delivery of bark chippings in on Monday so that we could cover areas that become very muddy as we prepare for winter. The children however had different ideas! Turns out bark chippings make the most fabulous resource!

Well we couldn’t have asked for a more magical start to the week when a feathered forest folk-er swooped down to join us at lunchtime! The children (and adults!) were entranced by a tiny blue tit that sat on various adults’ shoulders-even perching on Phil’s finger at one point!
