Why a reflection swing?
Swinging not only supports gross and fine motor skills but it also develops balance , strength and spatial awareness.
I will be putting up the swing during our forest school sessions ,not just to swing on , but to provide a place to reflect upon during and after experiences. I always feel reflection sessions are vital for learners to reflect upon their time in the woods as it helps to consolidate learning and facilitate deeper thinking.

Nature art frames are really simple to make, fun to play with and create some wonderful images.You just need an old piece of cardboard or paper, a pen and some scissors.Then, draw a simple shape or picture. Your shape or picture should have at least 1- 2 easy to cut out sections that you can then look through.The picture you see or create with the frames changes as you move the paper around.
See how many wonderful ways you can make to see all the beautiful natural patterns, shapes and colours bringing your pictures to life.
