Class One
Class 1 has had an adventurous few weeks – winding along the creek like the belly of the Waakl at Bush school, discovering the origins of paper in Ancient Egypt and fashioning amulets engraved with Hieroglyphs thanks to Class 5, as well as, climbing Thumb and Pointer Mountain in search of treasure as we learn to cast-on.
Our favourite challenge involved the power of our ears, as we tuned them to such sounds as: the shaking of sand in a bottle, rustling leaves, glass blowing and the beat of a drum while our eyes were sealed shut. It's surprisingly very difficult to remember the order and often we need to invite a fellow classmate for a helping hand.
We have also experienced the lively and sometimes cheeky character of lemon yellow and its calming sibling golden yellow.
Our deepest sense of stillness has been felt whilst French knitting. This will adorn our cushions and perhaps our loved ones too at this rate. Last week we began our immersion in the land of Arabic numerals through the story of Huggorm who travels on the back of the wise eagle, Aquila in search of Lapis lazuli.
