Hummingbee Kindergarten

21/10/2020

 
Picture
Before the holidays, our two Kindergarten classes came together at Crystal Creek to celebrate the Spring Festival. We shared songs and dances from our stories about Queen Honey Hum’s Hive, before enjoying a play and a picnic by the creek.
 
The children lovingly sprinkled our garden with a “secret magic potion” (biodynamic preparation), to help Mother Earth nourish her soil and plants, and the sense of joy and wonder was tangible when they returned this term to a bountiful harvest of strawberries, Madagascar beans, cherry tomatoes, multitudes of mulberries and sweet nectarines.
 
Out in the garden, the children are continuing to stretch their limbs and their capabilities, trying new tricks on the monkey bars and building tricky obstacle courses and elaborate cubby houses.
 
In craft, we spent most of last term finger-knitting rainbow balls of wool, and this term the children are very enthusiastically weaving their finger-knitting “over and under, over and under, over and under 1-2-3, pull the wool so very gently”.
 
Throughout this long-term ‘will’ project, the children have discovered the pleasure and satisfaction of making something beautiful, which requires perseverance and thoroughness, as well as wondering what their creations will become.
