Our tiny forest chefs spent many an hour in the mud kitchen preparing food for the sea creatures and learning what each animal might like to eat. We were fascinated to learn that Octopi have 9 brains and love to eat crabs, sea snails and small fish.
Wimbledon Village - Keeping Shade Under the Canopy
We kept the tweezers, scissors and paper punches from last week and progressed to using palm drills and secateurs under the guidance of educators. There were also lots of opportunities to use big gestures and work on balance and hand-eye coordination on innovative slackline, rope and swing configurations.
Wimbledon - Planting Seeds and Homes for Bees
Winkworth - Water Play Fun
Chiswick - Literacy With Lots Of Enthusiasm!
We’ve been diving into literacy with lots of enthusiasm. The children have been practicing letter formation through name writing, taking pride in recognising and writing the letters that make up their names. Our older children also engaged in phonics play, linking initial letter sounds with familiar words. It’s been a great way to develop early reading and writing confidence in a playful and meaningful way.
Fulham - Earth Rescue Team!
On Tuesday, Earth day itself, they did a special ocean clean-up activity. We had shells and sea creatures in our blue tray. 🐟🐠🐡 However, could you see these? No, because the tray was so polluted! There was murky water, plastic and even food waste. However, soon the water was clear enough thanks to our fabulous little explorers!
Morden - Changing The Earth With Our Two Hands!
One of the activities that our little explorers took part in was creating an Earth Day poster - they used all their small handprints to decorate the Earth. This opened up so many questions about recycling and how we can look after our beloved animals too. ✨ They finished off the poster with “ We can change our Earth with our own two hands.” ✨
