Season changes - Winter WC 11.01.21

Hello Brookfields! This week our theme is Season Changes - Winter.
WC - 11.01.2021
 
Our first challenge of the week is to stand anywhere in your garden / in front of a window and have an adult take a picture of you to capture the wintery scene outside. This will begin an ongoing project, each season you could take a picture in the same place to notice the differences, such as:
  • the leaves on the trees behind you
  • the colour of the sky
  • how light it is 
  • how much you have grown
  • how our clothes change
  • the weather behind you
I will be taking my own photo and it will be lovely if you could send me your "winter" pictures so we can collate one per season and look at the changes after a year.
