A Year and a Day, Issue 17: Rivers

A Year & a Day - A Waldorf-Inspired Seasonal Quarterly Magazine for Children

Spring 2024 edition.

In Spring, when snow and ice has melted away, rivers become alive with sound. Rivers and riverbanks are wonderfully diverse habitats, home to a rich variety of plants and animals. Throughout human history, rivers have been used as means of transportation, as territory markers and as sources of food. And humans have recognised and revered the wild power of rivers. In this issue we include three traditional tales that help to answer some of our questions about rivers. What are rivers? How are they formed? Can their power be harnessed? Who makes their river a home? 

By the time you have read this issue, we hope that you will be able to... make a river swimmer, create a dot painting, write a river song, bake a beaver tail... and much more!

Activities are laid out in order, and span a suggested timeline of 3 days, making this a fabulous resource for homeschooling.
