Plan for the walk

I will bring copies of the plan with me or you can print it out and bring your own

Hello and welcome

We will start by saying hello. You do not need to speak or say hello if you don’t want to.

Those who want to can say their name and if they would like to say what they like about taking photos.

We will walk to an area where there is some trees and fallen trees.

Ruth will ask if you would like to take 4 photos of different textures of things. See if you can feel the different textures before taking the photos.

We will walk to a wall

See what creatures you can see in the wall, can you see any spider webs or different plants? See if you can take some photos close up.

We will walk to a pond

The pond area is quite small, so we may need to take it in turns to take photos. See how many different colours of green you can photograph and look out for any insects!

We will walk to the back of the tennis courts

Ruth will ask you to choose a place to sit or stand and to take photos just in the place you have stopped. See how many different things you can notice in your small space.

We will choose a tree to walk to

See if you can look up at the sky or take photos near or further away from the tree.

Break

We will choose a place to stop and to look at the photos we have taken. Please choose your favorite photo. We will take it in turns to share our favorite photo – you do not have to speak or share if you don’t want to.

Café

We will go to the café at the end. I will have my drink outside on a bench, you can choose whether to sit inside, outside or return home.

If you would like to please share your photos on the Diverse group:

Thank you for coming!
