Magicweaving in Primary Schools

“….home-schooling a 6-year old & an 8-year old for 1 hour and 11 minutes. Teachers deserve to make a billion dollars a year. Or WEEK!”

The frontline staff who most likely chose their vocation for the wonders of working with children and guiding their progress. Suddenly, school life as we knew it is on hold. Teachers, parents and children have had to rethink how learning takes place. And what an incredible job our teachers are doing.

Some solace might be taken from the fact that this pandemic has been unfolding against a reassuring backdrop: The beauty and security of Mother Nature’s advancing Spring. Despite the trauma and tragedy in our human world, maybe we can take comfort in the steady security of our wonderful planet. For many, there is now a re-attuning with the ancient ebb and flow of nature. 

When we begin #Post-Covid life, we will all have choices to make about the way we interact with each other and must consider the impact this has on the natural world. As school leaders and decision makers re-focus on the ever-present SIPs, testing, targets and other glories of the Education system, let’s hope we will all make a commitment to become more in tune with and considerate of #Mother Nature.

For Schools needing new learning spaces and wishing to invest, not only in the future of their pupils but on lowering the environmental impact of new buildings on the planet, it’s worth mirroring your teaching styles with Eco-Friendly Classrooms. These inspirational modular buildings are made from sustainable, UK-grown wood. Just one incredible way to align with the natural and ancient rhythms of the world to which children are innately drawn.
