Classes 1 and 2 walked a beautiful Winter Spiral, formed from cuttings and branches from the families and our school gardens. The Winter Solstice is a time reflect on the shortest day and longest night, and when we celebrate our Mid-Winter Festivals. The children walked the spiral with an unlit candle in an apple to the centre light, lighting their own in a moment of inner reflection, and place the candle to form an ever-growing spiral of light. By the end, the room is filled with the magic and wonder of the light created. The children all sing winter songs and play recorder, as well as live music, story and poetry. Thanks to our parent volunteers who helped to create the spiral and apples and Clair, Linda, Melony and teachers Jamie Lotus and Emily Watts for this memorable event.
