Freya 02.11.11

Freya arrived and fell straight into a game with Ahliah. Freya seems to really thrive on a
good routine and has developed a great transition routine in the mornings. We
picked a bunch of flowers for the table. Freya wanted some for herself as well
and used them in the playground to cook with. Freya made the most beautiful
food with all the coloured flowers and added herbs to make it smell extra good.

Freya shows a beautiful caring, protective nature towards Ahliah – this has only really
consistently taken place in the past couple of months. During our morning walks
Ahliah will at times stop following or take a new course all together. Freya is
very aware of Ahliah and will tell me when Ahliah moves too far away. Freya
will often go galloping after Ahliah and encourage her in the right direction.

 We went to the mulberry tree and filled our tummies with sweet mulberries. Freya was doing
her best to keep her clothing clean, but they are ever so juicy and ended up
all around the her mouth.

The day was spent in close proximity with each other – the girls enjoyed the spiral
garden, where Freya was leading the game as birds nesting. Ahliah is beginning
to imitate and follow simple directions which makes Freya happy. We sailed the
boat with the guinea pig, read books and went for strolls around the garden.

When Freya arrived Denzil and Jasmine were very keen to say hello and beckoned her over to
the table; they wanted to show Freya the three silkworms all spun their
cocoons! Children are wonderful observers, not a beat gets missed.

During morning tea play the children picnicked from their cardboard box, Freya brought
the horses along with her and Jasmine the bunnies.

 For our midday activity we built an obstacle course, using cushions, string to climb
over, a long belt to balance along on the floor, the tunnel, balls, a wooden
spoon and lemon for balancing. Freya followed over the string and through the
stand, but stopped at the belt and watched as the other children placed one
foot in front of the other to balance across it. Freya than sat herself nearby
and watched. I offered her to do which ever part she liked, Freya didn't
respond and stayed put. When Freya is met with a new challenge she will often
watch and only join when she is sure she will succeed.

 Outside Freya and Denzil began to dig over the new garden, Jasmine asked if we could plant
some seeds. We found a flower seed medley which needed a sunny position, so we
chose a sunny patch along the fence and the children began to dig and pull out
grass and roots. It was a lot of work, but with great determination we
succeeded. We found a garden spider with an egg, which the children watched for
a long time.  Freya helped squash all the
lumps in the soil and pick out the roots. Freya then went off to play.... All
the focus and rewards in this activity were definitely in the process and not
the outcome, which shows how much the children really live in the moment.

Freya introduced the other children to flower cooking and soon we had a trio of cooks
and flower collectors – it is lovely to have such an abundance of flowers which
the children can explore and play with.
