Connections Patterns Learn about the different patterns which exist in nature (spiral, branching etc.).
Connections Patterns See the same pattern in different natural systems (e.g. the branching pattern is in trees, rivers, leaves and lungs), try using a magnifying glass to observe closely.
Connections Patterns Learn about fractal forms that you meet in your everyday life, e.g. spiral in sunflower, cauliflower, ferns.
Connections Patterns Create your own pattern (like a mandala, or spiral).
Connections Patterns Make prints from leaves, bark, shells and other interesting natural textures and patterns.
Connections Patterns Make music together, e.g. each person goes into nature to 'capture' a sound (e.g. hitting 2 sticks together, slapping water, mimicking the sound of a bird). Return to a circle. Going around the circle each person individually presents their sound. One person takes the role of conductor and points at someone to make their sound, keep the rhythm going whilst different sounds are added and taken away.
Connections Patterns Learn about the different seasonal patterns.
Connections Patterns See fractals (e.g. in a cauliflower, ferns).
Connections Patterns Observe the sound landscape, listening for patterns (e.g. bird song, river etc.).
Connections Patterns Collect things which are abundant at that time of year: foraging (e.g. berries).
