Hani is a completely
made up character. Below are some of the
ideas that helped to shape her.
Can you imagine what it must have
been like for money to keep changing value? How much shopping you would have to
do in one go?
Can you
produce a spread sheet to show money changing in value rapidly? And how would
that affect the way you spent it?
What would
be the most sensible things to buy?
Stuttgart, a town surrounded by woods and countryside
Stuttgart is one of the towns built
on seven hills. There are areas of woodland. In Bad Canstatt there was an open
air swimming pool which got its water from the Mombach spring nearby. Stuttgart
can be very warm in summer and gets plenty of snow in the winter. Hani and her friends
would live though all four seasons.
How does this compare with where you lived
when you were a young child?
The school in Stuttgart
In the stories,
Hani is not getting on well in her school. Her mother meets Clara Lehrs and
decides to send Hani to the original
Waldorf School in Stuttgart.
Steiner education:
- Works for all children irrespective of academic ability, class, ethnicity or religion;
- Takes account of the needs of the whole child – academic, physical, emotional and spiritual;
- Is based on an understanding of the relevance of the different phases of child development;
- Develops a love of learning and an enthusiasm for school;
- Sees artistic activity and the development of the imagination as integral to learning;
Does your
school do this? How well does it do
this? Give examples.
