In fifth grade, the students are practicing for the pentathlon. Part of the Waldorf philosophy is to give an outer expression for what lives within the students. In fifth grade, the students are in perfect balance and harmony and so they get to learn about the Greeks, and to learn the sports of the Greeks. The students are working on running the baton, throwing the discus, long jump, throwing javelin, and wrestling. The highlight of the event will be at the end of April when all of the Waldorf schools from the area will meet for a three day event during which the students will play, perform, and meet new friends.

We also started games classes with the third, fourth and fifth grade. Students play new games and work on their social skills, teamwork, and supporting their friends besides, of course, having fun.

Warmly,

Mr. Matan
