Rudolf Steiner posed this question to the teachers of the first Waldorf School in 1919,

How will we characterise the plant kingdom to the young student in a way that will appeal to their feeling life and imagination as well as connect with the powers of thought?

With an abundance of colour and flowers in full bloom, the bush is alive and humming.

Welcome to the Noongar Season Kambarang.

With an abundance of effort and beauty all around, the school is thriving and full of song.

Welcome to Term Four at the Yallingup Steiner School.

Class 1 have focused on Nyitting Stories – stories from the Dreaming. We have listened to, retold, illustrated, composed and written key sentences from Dreaming stories from Wadandi Boodjar, Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar and further afield. The children have been deeply engaged with these complex stories which gently impart moral and ethical wisdom as well as deep understandings of the land.

The students in Class 2 have been practising how the fluid world of colour movement is awakened through Wet on Wet painting.  We have been inspired by the colours and forms that are found around us at this time of the year.

Welcome back to all our students, both new and returning! In this edition, we reflect on our winter festival and bid farewell to a long-standing staff member.

We warmly anticipate welcoming our students and their families on Friday evening and look forward to embracing the quiet and introspective mood of the festival.

The children have been immersed in a flurry of activity, crafting their unique winter lanterns and learning new seasonal songs in anticipation of the much loved Winter Festival.
