The term is flying by and the year is drawing to a close.  What an amazing year it has been.  It's been a steep learning journey for me, immersing myself in the beautiful Steiner curriculum and getting to know and love the Class One children, their families and find my place in the school community.  Thank you all for the honor.  I look forward to continuing the learning journey next year, moving with the children into Class Two. 

Term 4 is always an interesting time of reflection.  I've been writing reports and reflecting on the children's individual growth and development over the course of the year.  It's heartwarming to think back to the wide-eyed children that started in Class One at the beginning of the year.  They have certainly grown in every way and have formed a strong and caring class community. 

Our upcoming class play will be a celebration of this growth and connection.  The Class One Nativity play will be performed on Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th of December at 10am.  Our focus with the nativity story is its message of compassion, generosity, hope and a celebration of new life.  The children have been working hard to learn their lines, as well as practicing recorder, lyre and singing for the many songs in our play.  Thanks to Class One families for helping children to practice at home.  They have done very well at learning their lines by heart and did very well at our final dress rehearsal on Friday.  Thanks to Robyn and Class 4/5 for being our warm-up audience for this rehearsal!
