Weekly Rhythm: Planned Possibilities

Weekly Rhythm: Planned Possibilities is a new weekly post that is a review of our weekly activities. We have characterised each day by something that happens on that day, this gives a predictable pattern for our week.

I posted have previously posted our weekly rhythm. The idea of having a rhythm comes from the works of Rudolf Steiner (a philosophy I loosely follow in my day-to-day life). The purpose of having a rhythm is to develop a sense of regularity to the day-to-day life of your child. Having a rhythm assists the development of confidence because your child 'knows' what's coming next.

I find that life is so much easier when Chook knows what's happening next. It is easier to talk with him about events because you only need to say "We go to the library after morning tea" or "After your bath, we get into our PJs and then it's time for Story Candle". This really helps his understanding that there is a process, that things don't just happen when you want them to happen. It is a good life lesson. The twins will naturally also benefit from having this in place.

Our Planned Possibilities this week were:

Monday is Story Day

We read Hairy Charlie and the Pumpkin by Jackie French. Lots of inspiring things to do with all the pumpkins we have harvested!

Wednesday is Play Day

We played with Shaving Cream!

Friday is Discovery Day

We made Hot Cross Buns and talked about new life. We sang the New Life song.

Saturday is Game Day

Chook made a slide out of the blocks.

Sunday is Family Day

We made Pumpkin Soup.
