To be really honest with you, I was totally blown away by these children.
They were so calm and confident, yet polite and engaged. They listened intently to Yun’s wisdom, and had so much input themselves, it almost became an exchange of knowledge.
All the children were so peacefully confident in offering their thoughts and ideas, not scared to make a mistake or get something wrong…but of course! I realised that over the few hours I spent with them, NOT ONCE did I hear a child mock or embarrass another. This was quite a shock to me, coming from a mainstream background myself, where mockery disguised as ‘banter’ was a main theme.
I realised these children weren’t scared to be themselves.
The environment they learn in is so healthy and respectful, they could fully drop into learning and contributing. I truly was amazed.
Well done teacher Lucy, these children are a credit to you and Nant-y-Cwm ❤️
