It's a Bit Like A Hall of Mirrors

The last time I went to a Funfair I made a beeline for the Hall of Mirrors. I went to another in a Belgian town and they were exactly the same mirrors; I even saw the same ones in the Natural History Museum in London!

It’s A Bit Like Applying Learning

When you first reflect on new learning it can seem confusing; it’s never exactly how it seems. Stepping back you see something new, looking closer up you see something new and different.

If not, you haven’t learned.
