The Winter

The winter was the subject of our 4th class.
First we tried to define the winter.
Everybody knew that at this time of the year some birds go to warmer lands and other animals go to sleep.
That the days are darker than in the summer and also that it can be very nice, especially if you can play with the snow or go ice skating in the open air…
But of course the main characteristic of the winter is that it’s cold!
And because of that the kids took their bikes and went to the forest to chop some wood.
They got very warm from doing it.


Breathing in and out.

A cotton ball became a snowball and with that and a piece of straw they did a funny breathing exercise.

The Yoga poses:

The yoga poses were all about the forest and the animals that lived there.
With everybody together in the tree pose, they did the forest.
Than it was time for the bear, the beaver, the squirrel and the deer.
The kids are getting very good in the yoga poses!


Relaxation...

In the relaxation the kids had to imagine how it was to be a tree.
A big, beautiful tree firmly and still in the forest.
Their bodies were the trunks and their roots had to grow deep into the earth.
They felt strong and powerful inside.
