Branches of Snowy May...

Weaving our love into the May Pole, wishes, smiles, dreams and hope.

Getting there, almost done...

Whoo hoo! Wishes, hopes and dreams for our year to come, woven with love and smiles!

It is amazing with each year, how different the dynamic of every class is.

The roles that grow and change, the relationships that are nurtured, the new faces that join and find their way with the help of new friends... amazing.

It has been only one month and all of the children are involved, so involved in spectacularly complex play. There are many different roles, caring for friends and toys, designing village houses, trading goods, feeding stray dogs, building sculpture and handwork. Brilliant!

Baby animals follow mama for a meal. 

Taking care of our animals and babies at play.

Of course, our gentlemen take care of the babies too.

We make and share beautiful sculpture too! She was so proud of her hard work and creativity.

Climbing is ALWAYS fun.

Deciding on roles and occupations at play can be tough and complex work.

Ah, yes, the play is becoming more complex. There are certain and many roles. The sharing is beautiful. The roles are creative. A village is under way.

Even the youngest of us love to care for our babies and become part of the play village community. So sweet.

Each child brought in a bit of fruit or berries that they loved. 

We peeled them, chopped them up and slowly cooked them down.

We added some delicious honey from one of the families own bees!

When we went to Dawes Hill Farm (which we do once a month for

our farm block!!) We picked pears and we cooked them and milled them

into pear butter and canned that too!

In the end, we canned more than two dozen small jars of plum berry preserve

and pear sauce! What a treat we will have this winter!
