Who are we?
our education project
Our curriculum takes inspiration from the wheel of the year and we offer the children opportunities to engage with seasonal cycles through art, story, ceremony and celebration. At Roots and Wings, we offer a rich and inspiring structure within which the children can choose to learn about subjects they are interested in.
Mindfulness practices - We bring in mindfulness practices in fun way and creative ways.
Nature is our classroom - We spend time in nature as much as we can. We have beautiful trees and a fun park nearby. We will learn about the elements and we will go on nature adventures in the local area.
Circle time - At the beginning and the end of the day we gather in a sacred circle. It is the anchor of our project and a beautiful space to share and reflect on our experiences, our successes, and our feelings.
The spirit of play - Together we will explore life with a sense of joyful adventure and curiosity. Using our whole bodies we will discover the magic of language and numbers, the wonders of the natural world and our beautiful bodies. We will play games that inspire, challenge and help us grow as individuals and as a community of learners.
Practical life skills - We will share and learn practical life skills such as gardening, cooking, sewing, up-cycling and making useful things to help us with our learning and domestic activities. We will take responsibility for our space and our resources, care for our plants and each other.
Art and Performance - Music, theatre, visual art and craft. We will explore our imagination and the many ways we can express who we are. We will learn about and from other cultures. We will celebrate all the unique individual expressions and we will create meaningful connections between them.
Following the Wheel of the Year - The Earth and her plants and creatures will be our teachers and sources of wisdom and inspiration. Following the lead of our ancestors we will work with the seasons, celebrating different festivals and staying in tune with what she has to teach us.
Story time - Defying the rules of time and space we will journey with wise friends within folk tales and myth. We will sing songs and share our reflections - bringing story alive through our unique experience of it.
Literacy and numeracy - Our children will have the opportunity to engage in fun activities with numeracy and literacy incorporated. Children will always have access to a selection of books and a quiet area dedicated to reading and sharing stories.
