Hi Everyone
We’ve been so swamped this past week. We’ve started a new Waldorf Curriculum, you can have a look at www.alittlegardenflower.com. It’s been truly amazing, the kids are loving it, and as importantly I love it and am able to teach it with an ease that makes life much happier for me.
Juliette has been doing […]

This child is generally of a heavier build, is often shy but appears comfortable. If they are getting their needs met, in other words enough sleep, a healthy diet etc. They are generally happy.
These children often appear lazy, but are merely contemplative. If they’re inspired enough they will work hard on the project until it […]

The past week has flown by with so many things happening it boggles the mind. I’ve been preparing for the kids lessons for this coming week. I should ideally plan the entire year out but I struggle with this aspect of my life, so I have to only do what I can. And then […]

I’d like to share a Waldorf Verse that I’ve been using with StJohn and Juliette, specifically for StJohn to calm him down before a lesson….
My hands upon my head I place
On my shoulders, On my Face
On my Lips, By my side
Then behind me they will hide
Then I lift them way up high
And let my […]

Hi Everyone,
I’d like to carry on with the 4 Temperaments, as promised. The Sanguine child is quite easy for me to explain, as both my son and myself have a dominant Sanguine personality. Together left to our natural temperament, we’d achieve little jumping from task to task with glee.
One positive to this child is that […]

Hi Everyone,
Just to let you know, I’ll continue with the temperament series within the next few days. StJohn has flu at the moment, I’ve got a cracking headache, and I’m trying to get my mind around Norse Mythology (not the stories, the background).
I’ve consulted books and websites and have ended up having to compile a […]

Hi Everyone,
It’s Saturday afternoon here and we’ve just got home from lunch with my children’s Nana, my dear mother! It was lovely and we’re stuffed to the gills. Let me make this clear. My mother does not cook, my grandmother fed me. BUT…my mother can make 1 dish and she has perfected it (she’s made […]

Hello Everyone
The past few days here have been freezing and raining, so perfect knitting weather! We’ve been preparing for our new curriculum, by gathering books, resources and making gnomes. I love gnomes, so do the kids of course. You can see the little gnome I knitted for Juliette. It’s pocket size, which really appeals to […]

Hi Everyone,
We’ve been homeschooling now for nearly 3 years, yet started our Waldorf journey 6 years ago when we decided to enroll our daughter in a Waldorf School. During this time we’ve learnt much, moved away from Waldorf for a good few months, and then back again, with a huge sigh of relief to be […]
