Sit spot
Sit spot is an opportunity or invitation to be with nature and to pay attention to what we see or hear or feel or notice. Today we noticed:
- the trees don’t have many branches or leaves at the bottom of the trees and then they have lots of leaves at the top
- the breeze blowing on my face
- the ground I was sitting on was very flat
- the nice feel of the air
- the different shapes of the branches
- the birds chirping
- the leaves on the ground are different colours
- all the different textures and how each tree is different
- that I felt peaceful very quickly when I listened to the birds
- a pine needle fall on me
- how many y’s there are all around me
- all the bark is gone on those dead trees
- heard the trees swaying and I realised the ground had so many interesting things on it
- the ocean moving in different ways and the sunlight in the middle
- clouds moving side to side
- the exquisite sea
- I felt the muck under my shoes
- the difference between no wind and when the wind blows
- the trees have sticks sticking out of them like big thistles
- the pines are really tall and dark and straight trunks and the ash has really white and curly branches like wiggly bones
- the ground is covered with a variety of different colours
Creating Weaving Forms – 4th class
A frame – We collected Y shaped frame and checked that the wood is strong enough to weave around.

Practice of gratitude – I’m grateful for:
- reeds because you can do so many different things with them – tie them, cut them in half to make little brideogs
- our base and pine cones
- trees because they keep us alive and I love climbing them
- free play and mining the mud rocks
- plants that we wove with and seeing the hazel flower
- pine cones because I like the feel of them
- 105 piney nephews and nieces
- Mud rock official research Project and for finding rocks inside other rocks
- sit spot and the weaving
- making new stuff and discovering things I never knew
- making the invitations
- the stories we get to hear and for learning about Brigid
- the trees around us
- weaving with ivy and willow
