Highlights of the week 28th Jan – 1st Feb

Circle Time:

Revision of the rhymes done till date.

Introduction of rhyme :

There once lived a cobbler, and he was wee,

He lived in a hole, of a very big tree,

He had a good neighbor, and she was a mouse,

She did his wee washing, and tidied his house,

Each morning at seven, he heard a wee tap,

And in came the mouse, with her apron and cap.

She lit a small fire, and fetched a wee broom,

She swept and she polished, his wee little room.

To take any wages, she always refused,

So the cobbler said “thank you”, and mended her shoes.

Source- Steiner rhyme

Students were quite eager to learn about different rituals, tradition and artefacts associated with different cultures. After an action packed week, they bought some precious artefacts from their home and explained the belief and why is it (the artefact) are values in their homes. So far, they are quite clear with the key terms, rituals, traditions, artefacts and beliefs.
