We are five years old!

The sunny weather filled our day with fantastic energy. We began our morning by sharing our plans and discussing our new affirmation: "I am creative and I express myself in many ways." That spirit was alive everywhere as we enjoyed the beautiful weather outdoors. Just like last week, a group of boys headed straight for tennis as a warm-up before their booked court session, and it was great to see even more children join the activity today. Meanwhile, the girls got out the yoga mats for a time of yoga, dancing and connection.

After noticing limited enthusiasm for the planned film project, we gathered the group to discuss it. Everyone had a chance to share how they were feeling and collectively decided to let last week's idea go in favour of working on a shorter film. They brought out the pantomime horse we sewed a while ago, and the project quickly took off — so much so that they decided they needed a second horse actor! A new one was promptly sewn and is ready for the filming adventures to continue next week.

Elsewhere, the day was filled with great vibes. We witnessed magic tricks, games of Wink Murder and Twister, awesome crafting, including weaving, sharing books and an enthusiastic treasure dig in the garden.

We ended with a special celebration in our goodbye circle, marking the project's fifth birthday with beautiful cakes and some exotic fruit. Sharing stories from our first year was a lovely moment of connection. Here's to another year of learning and growing together!
