Class 3 have settled quickly back into the rhythm of school life. 

In Main Lesson, they are immersed in the biblical story of “The Journey to the Promised Land”. The stories follow the early Hebrew patriarchs of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who bring monotheism to human civilisation.

On Tuesday afternoons, the Technology group rotations have recommenced, and the children are enjoying cooking (and eating) pikelets, making their own wet clay pots and tending the plants and animals in the Biodynamic Garden. 

A new and exciting music experience has commenced on Fridays with the children learning to play their choice of either a cello or a violin. Their tutors are showing them how to care for their instrument, handle it properly and of course begin to create musical notes using the magical bow. It is wonderful to see the children look after their precious instrument! 

Glenaeon’s Art Teacher, Julia, is holding a special painting lesson every Friday fortnight in class, paired with the enjoyment of sipping warm herbal raspberry tea made by Lucy! The children love the calm, creative experience. 

Reading groups continue with the help of our wonderful parent volunteers and the children are pausing throughout the story to discuss their comprehension of what they are reading together. We are now “reading to learn” rather than just “learning to read”. 

The children were enthusiastically engaged in creating their own beautiful Mother’s Day card. Under the guidance of parent Alice Martin, they designed and made painted paper flowers in a layered effect that was truly stunning.
