Anyone who has ever been educated at a Steiner Waldorf school will have heard about Eurythmy, a practice of movement unique to Steiner Waldorf schools. In this article, our Eurythmy teacher, Jemima, tells us a bit more about the origins of Eurythmy, how it is put into practice and the value it brings to the education.

At York Steiner School we celebrate Harvest in a big way! Every phase of our education observes with gratitude the abundance gifted upon us by the natural world, whilst at the same time, taking time to be in service to others, by gathering food and supplies for those who are in need.

We enjoy a whole school festival to celebrate Saint Michael, a symbol of service and courage. In Kindergarten, the children observe the gifts from the fruit trees and bushes, and make jam, soup and bread to share with family and friends. Read on for a few more snippets from our Kindergarten’s harvest celebrations.
