I feel as if from enchantment freed The spirit child in the soul's womb; In the heart's radiance The holy word of worlds Has begotten heavenly hope Which grows jubilant to the ends of the world Out of my being's divine foundation. Calendar of the Soul -Rudolf Steiner

Class 2 Place Value
Class Two have been learning about place value this term – the idea that where a digit sits in a number tells us its value: either ones, tens, or hundreds. The students have listened to maths stories of Karak the red-tail cockatoo. After the first Makuru storm blew down all the gumnuts, Karak was tasked with counting them all. He had the help of some Class Two children, who had just knitted their own recorder bags (just like we have!) and helped him count them into bags of ten and baskets of a hundred to carry to the castle to be stored.
The students also heard the story of children sorting and ordering their community’s firewood, then practiced counting our own popstick ‘firewood’. We also played the trading game with wooden MAB blocks to practice regrouping and trading bundles of ten and a hundred.
The narrative problems in our final week extended to counting, adding and dividing fish on a northern fishing adventure.
Class 3 Form Drawing
The education of form drawing comes through the process of doing the activity with the children and not the end product. It challenges the child, absorbs them and inspires creativity. It requires focus, control of movement and the need to practice patience.
This term in Class 3 we have been continuing our journey with the four-point axis exercise—often called a fourfold. This builds mental focus and symmetry. It involves drawing continuous, flowing lines that mirror or radiate from four distinct points on a page.
It has been lovely to see the Class 3 children bring such reverence to their form drawing lessons. In our lessons they eagerly wait with quiet concentration as I slowly guide them through a creative form. It is a pleasure to watch them demonstrate the flow of the form and then witness their sense of pride as it slowly begins to unfold to completion.
‘In this way, one educates the child toward a real feeling for form, toward a feeling for harmony, for symmetry, and toward a feeling of relationships. In this way one can guide the child into those harmonies which also exist in the world around us.’
