The children will be creating using clay and their imaginations, while being guided by the Steiner teacher.
This is a great lesson for a child to connect with their inner self, learn patience and control.
There will also be activities before and after the clay lesson, where the children will first connect and come together and at the end they will reflect on the lesson.
