I have just discovered this lovely book called, ‘In the Light of the Child’ by Michael Hedley Burton. This book follows all the weeks of the year and for each week, there is a verse pertaining to that week. There are verses for the weeks of Easter, Christmas etc… and the really wonderful part of this book is that it is for the Northern AND Southern Hemisphere, Yay, at last something for the Southern Hemisphere. You can buy it from Bob and Nancy Booksellers, Amazon and locally from Loot, I have added it to my Loot books on the left side of the page for those in South Africa.

I am reading this book at the moment, ‘Putting the Heart Back into Teaching’, and it is such a lovely Waldorf book. It has so much information in it and it is published in South Africa and it even has a few Xhosa plays and Afrikaans verses in it. It discusses the tempraments, it has handwork, poems, verses, form drawing, introduction to maths, introduction to reading and writing. I think it is lovely! It discusses grades 1 to 4 but will even benefit the older grades as well.

To obtain a copy, contact Carle’ at dehningc@gmail.com and she can also inform you of the other books that Novalis Press sells.

Have a lovely weekend…..
