CREATION OF LOOMS

The fingers accompany the threads: like the waves of the sea, they go above and below... The preschool boys and girls who will go on to primary school are finishing weaving the loom that will be used to create a bag. Every day they dedicate some time to it when they arrive at school. This daily practice helps them acquire perseverance, patience, motivation, the practice of self-evaluation, full attention, creativity... At the same time, recognizing the satisfaction that creating a useful and practical object for life brings increases. the self-esteem. It is manual work that also involves practicing fine motor skills, putting hand-eye coordination or laterality to work, which will be the skill that will later help them to delve into reading and writing.

GARDEN PROJECT

"¡Mi corazón en el tuyo! ¿Y qué más? La rosa en mi corazón. - ¿Y qué más? La hojita nueva en la rosa. - ¿Y qué más? El agua en la hojita nueva. - ¿Y qué más? …El cielo azul en el agua." Juan Ramón Jiménez   Spring has arrived in the first cycle: everything has started to grow! The tree that was difficult to climb is now a piece of cake, the stories and books that we read in fits and starts now flow like a docile torrent. The garden has burst into colors, shapes and fruits that sweeten our mornings. In the garden space we have planted some sunflower seeds that we have been caring for and observing daily for three weeks. To our surprise, it has not been all a piece of cake. Once our seeds grew, we were surprised that some docile inhabitants of our garden liked the leaves of our sunflowers so much that they did not leave even one. We began to observe and imagine how to help our plants. And with ideas from everyone in the group, we created a tall castle surrounded by ashes to keep snails away from our sunflowers. And what a result! At the moment they continue to grow healthy, unfolding all their leaves towards the sun. And we are full of confidence that in the event of something unexpected we can solve it to continue growing.

KINDERGARTEN

On April 12, 2024, we open a new Parenting Group, Forest School Sa Llavor, for children from 1 to 5 years old with an accompanying parent. Every Friday we offer a natural, beautiful and harmonious space that facilitates free and safe movement. We create a Learning Community where adults and children enjoy being together in a warm and familiar atmosphere that enhances vital needs: health, vigor and enthusiasm. "Like every Friday morning, the door to the school garden opens and families arrive with joy and enthusiasm. Butterflies flutter, birds sing and a blackbird welcomes us. The watering cans are prepared and the flowers await the arrival of water. They happily appreciate the soft and delicate hands of the children who give them a drink. We make houses in the sandbox and listen to the sweet awakening of the morning. The bell rings, we're going to the Forest! We sing pickup songs and prepare for the excursion. We walk to songs of horses and trains, we greet the clouds while the mountains watch us from the distance. When we arrive at the Forest, the flower meadow greets us, the almond trees with their new leaves give us the light shade of spring, where we share lunch between songs and silences. The time has come to explore this immensity that welcomes us. The trees, the sticks of different shapes and colors, the colorful butterflies, the wreaths of flowers and bouquets, the movement and free play... that's how we spent the morning. The bell rings again: it's time to pick up. In a circle we say goodbye and share what the day has given us. We say goodbye to the Forest until next Friday. Thank you Life!"

KINDERGARTEN: FOR CHILDREN FROM 2 YEARS OLD

The novelty of this course in the Sa Llavor Kindergarten group is that we welcome children from 2 years old. The Kindergarten is a large home where children from 2 to 5 years old form a unitary group and live as in a big family. They learn the social sense and cooperation in a warm and homely environment that pays attention to the care of vital qualities: creation, initiative and imagination. Childhood is one of the most important times in life as it creates our attitudes towards the world and towards other people. It is the basis of our physical strength, sensitivity and intellectual capacity.

CROSSINGS 2022-23

CROSSING: FROM SÓLLER TO TOSSALS VERDS On Wednesday May 31 we left Binissalem for Palma by train. There we take the old wooden train to Sóller that leaves us at the beginning of the journey: Biniaraix. Following the winding path that runs through the ravine, we begin the ascent accompanied by the wonderful landscape, the sun and the waterfalls. Everything was going well until suddenly it started to rain. We cover a tree with a tarp, take shelter and decide to eat. In the afternoon we continue along the path and get wet twice more until we reach the top, next to Puig de l'Ofre. We find a place to spend the night and spread out wet things to dry. We spent the night under the stars. The next day we headed towards the Font des Noguer to fill our water bottles. We have the will to start the path again, with almost all our clothes dry, but an intense storm crosses our path. It rains so hard that, even under the tarpaulin, everything we carry gets wet. So we decided it's time to go home. However, although the entire journey could not be completed, it has been a great experience of courage, resilience and improvement for everyone.       CROSSING: CAMÍ DE CAVALLS - MENORCA The crossing to the neighboring island of Menorca was made following the old Camí de Cavalls and the bicycles being our steeds. The path was generous, since nature in its multiple manifestations gave us storms, skies and seas of infinite colors, solitary coves that offered their waters for a refreshing and restorative bath, and a bush of stars under which to rest and dream in peace. Honoring its name and tradition with the school, this was also a demanding journey that put us all to the test; face our own difficulties, expand the limits of our physical and mental resistance, allow emotion at the farewells of colleagues who embarked on new paths. Together, we have contributed to one of those experiences that leave a mark and allow us to confidently cross the threshold that precedes and gives way to the next vital stages. It is an honor to have been able to accompany this group of young people and grateful for this wonderful experience.

SPEECH ART AND THEATRE. HEAR THE WEAVING OF FORCES. APRIL 2023

"And you give a name to everything and the word is born as a creative source"     On April 21st and 22nd, we continue our journey through the 7 Arts and arrive at the fifth meeting of “The path of human being through the Arts” with Severino Airoldi as a guest who will guide an Artistic Workshop for the Speech Art and Theater Community. Through the artistic word we explore fields as vital as: the voice · the breath · the listening · the spoken sound. Creativity, vitality and joy accompany us in speaking exercises and recitation of poems, where we look for the relationship between voice and the gesture. We discovered vowels and consonants as an inspirational source. The theatrical improvisation, the creation of scenes and characters leads us to lose our inhibitions, live in the present and trust one's own creativity through a relaxed and familiar atmosphere. "Any game in which the person has to transform and play a role, is beneficial for the soul, it takes it out of its accustomed routine and reinforces its freedom and adaptability" Georg Kuhlewind   Severino Airoldi He was born in Switzerland. He studied Word Art and Theater in Stuttgart, Germany. Teacher, reciter and declaimer. He has taught German and theater at the Escuela Libre Micael in Madrid. He was part of the Trova de Cuentos and Euritmia Ensemble. He has worked in the art of the word and theater in sociotherapy. He was part of the "L'Arsenale" Theater School in Milan, Italy and has directed the "Christmas Cars" project at the Micael Free School. Since 2001, he has taught theater and speech training courses at different institutions in Spain.   More information: escolacultura@sallavor.es Registration aquí>

THE IMPORTANCE OF MUSIC IN EDUCATION

Music is an essential element for achieving a healthy development in the evolutionary process of growth and learning. The sound of music awakens balanced and harmonic thought, connects with sensitivity, encourages the will and facilitates the social quality of listening. Music and singing situate the performer on the fine line between the intangible and the sensitive, making them part of an authentic spiritual experience. “When human beings listen to music, they have a feeling of well-being because the tones harmonize with what they have experienced in the world of their spiritual home” Rudolf Steiner It is an essential art in our time to recover the connection with oneself, with others and with nature.
