Michael Hall are hosting a small circus, Nicole & Martin. It is a family run circus of two performers who travel all over Europe delighting their audiences. I heard about them from colleagues at Kings Langley Steiner school and so I went to see them there. I was so impressed with the quality and beauty of their work. Their performances are magical, filled with fantasy, music, humour and movement, educational at so many levels. The public performances are for age 7+ Friday 7th June ..read more

Idunn and the Golden Apples – Class 4b Play last week
Last week Class 4b completed four performances of their play Idunn and the Golden Apples. There are so many learning opportunities in a play. Apart from the lines, music and movement, of which there were plenty, just being organised enough to know what is coming next and where you have to be at any one time can be a serious challenge. It was wonderful to watch the class grow through every performance. One is very privileged to be a Class ..read more
“Post Graduate Steiner students are hard-working; self-aware and thus stable in their interests” quotes Professor Marie Harder
“I have come across Steiner students many times while a Professor at the University of Brighton, and always enjoyed their robustness and perseverance in their work.

The trip began with a walk from our school to the farm, in sprinkling rain. Once there, the children set up ..read more
Inadequacy as a Doorway to Learning
By TERRY ELLIS and CHIP ROMER
Imagine a young child learning to stand for the first time. He has seen his older sister do it countless times, and he is determined that he, too, will stand and then walk towards the things that interest him. He crawls to the coffee table and pulls himself into an upright position, then his legs wobble and he promptly falls back onto his bottom. He pulls himself up again, and falls again. Again, and again. ..read more
