Story time has taken us on a journey to meet the Gruffalo, The Hungry Caterpillar, Little Red Riding Hood and the Three Little Pigs. Along the way we’ve had plenty of roleplay, small world setups and wonderful sensory exploration in the gorgeous sunshine! 

Our Little Forest Folk-ers have helped us do some weeding and tidying up of our cottage garden and done lots of planting. This encourages environmental awareness and stewardship and helps them develop a meaningful connection to the natural world and take pride in the environment and little community we have here at Little Forest Folk Winkworth.

This week at Winkworth we’ve been gardening! We’ve sectioned off a little part of our back garden for a project to put in some raised beds. We hope to grow beans, tomatoes and sunflowers when it is ready. Our little gardeners have been very helpful, digging and making the ground flat with rakes and are excited to talk and learn about all the steps involved in growing our own plants!
