This week we have been extremely fortunate to have had a Eurythmist and Extra Lesson Teacher working at Chrysalis. Diane ran Eurythmy classes for Class 2, Class 4, and Class 8 students.
Unique to Steiner Schools, Eurythmy is a technique for integrating the arts and academic learning. Primarily an art of movement, Eurythmy encompasses elements of music, language, arts, literature, speech and drama, numeracy, geometry and spatial and social awareness. Its objective is to enhance and deepen the children's learning experience of every other subject.
Yesterday was Diane's second visit to the school and her work centered around speech, natural forms, and sacred geometry, catering to the developmental age of the child.
The Class 8 Firesticks performance is a beautiful example of the integrated nature of Eurythmy. Together students plan the geometric patterns, which form the basis of the choreography. As they rehearse the movement, they are utilising spatial awareness, mathematical logic, inter & intrapersonal skills, and emotional intelligence.

Diane will continue to visit every 4 weeks throughout the year and work her way through each of the classes. We are very excited to have the opportunity to work with Diane.
