The first time I met with the group of children I'm working with we looked at the rings found inside a tree and talked about how you tell how old a tree was by counting its rings. Then, inspired by a technique I've seen artist, Talya Rochester, use we decorated our forest school artist books with a personalised tree ring design.
We started at the centre (the 'heartwood') and choose which colour to use by asking ourselves 'what colour am I feeling today?'.
