I love this! Do you happen to have the words to the song? And, the little play was adorable-we were looking for something very simple to do-perfect! Thanks for sharing!
We used to do the same play when I went to the blue mountains steiner school in Australia. It's been over 8 years and I still remember every word of that song!
Welcome back to our little blog! We hope that you'll enjoy this year's journey with the saints and animals. Here's a description of what we will be doing this year from the Curriculum.
This time is used primarily for practising and developing all the new skills from the previous year. Whereas in Class 1 a lot of energy went into forming the class into a socially cohesive group where children are supported by the wholeness that they experience, in Class 2 a mood of contrast or polarisation often surfaces, which can be observed in the way children relate to each other.
To help them go through this stage, they are told stories where contrasting human qualities and characteristics are found portrayed by holy people and saints in legends and by animals in the fables. This class needs strong leadership from the teachers through consistency of approach and through the power of imagination. The children derive direction and form from the images they are given.

The poem is in the book Journey through Time in Verse and Rhyme. It's called St Michael's Harvest Song by Anonymous.
