In this way the inner spirit of each child feels a sense of nourishment and calm in a non-secular way. This is created through the many verses that are learnt by rote, (also a part of the curriculum and building strong foundations for literacy), or the candles that are lit at specific points in the day, alongside class singing and moments creating silence together. Reverence is another unique feature of our approach to educating your child. (Typical prayer offered at snack/meal time)
There is also a weekly rhythm too - for example painting on Monday, bread-making on Tuesday and so on.
#DEAR EARTH DEAR SUN BY YOU WE LIVE FREE#
In the Kindergarten, each day follows the same basic rhythm (for example free play, followed by circle time, snack time, outside time and then a story).Healthy, repetitive activities and rhythms ensure that learning is both easier and more effective, as well as helping children to seamlessly flow from one activity to the next. Constant changes can often invoke anxiety in the developing child.All of this impacts on their ability to learn and retain information. When children can safely rely upon what will happen during each part of their day or morning, through repeated activities with their own rhythm, their sense of security and well-being is dramatically affected. They are especially important during the early years, setting up important habits for life.
Rhythm, repetition and reverence are themes that run throughout the entire length and breadth of the Steiner curriculum. The three R’s: Rhythm, repetition and reverence
