It’s been an eventful few days in the forest, with three of the best annual celebrations falling all within a week! Shrove Tuesday (or more deliciously known as Pancake Day!), Valentine’s day and Chinese New Year have all been hot talking points this week as we find ways to celebrate them in the forest.
Fulham - rain and sunshine
Putney Heath - clay modelling
Twickenham - pancakes in frying pans
Wandsworth - reminiscing
Wimbledon - making bird feeders
Chiswick - There’s snow business like snow business!
Little Forest Folk Chiswick has braved temperatures colder than we’ve seen in years! On Tuesday we dove headfirst into a winter wonderland, almost entirely untouched, ready for our little troopers to crunch the snow beneath their feet, investigate the frozen forest and see their breath transform into steam.
Fulham - magical transformation
Putney Heath - A real winter’s day!
Twickenham - Toasty fire
Wandsworth - Toasted apple
Wimbledon - experimenting with colour
Chiswick - I can see clearly now the rain is gone!
Fulham - exciting discoveries
Putney Heath - Squishy leaf puddles
Twickenham - crocuses and snow drops
Wandsworth - Days of two halves
Wimbledon - Learning opportunities
It’s been yet another fun and muddy week in the forest for us Foxes! We’ve been so lucky to see so much wildlife, it’s been a BIG spotting week, we’ve seen sleeping ducks on our walks along the river, as well as a European gold finch, and we had a wonderful experience getting super close to the Grey Heron that lives nearby on our walk to pick up point!
