A Year and a Day, Issue 18: Flight

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

It’s summer, and in the Northern Hemisphere, we are experiencing long and light-filled days. As we stretch out on the grass, watching clouds float overhead, we can see winged creatures floating, soaring, and flitting by. Birds, bees, and winged insects all find their flow on currents of air.

In this issue, we include three stories all about flight. They are stories that explore what happens when people try to fly, what it might be like to have a bird’s eye view of life, and the mystery that is woven into the wings of butterflies.

By the end of this issue, we hope you will be able to:

• Make a kite
• Identify birds of prey
• Create your own wings
• Understand the ways humans have tried to fly (and failed)… and much more!

Stories in this issue:

• Fintan and the Hawk
• Daedalus and Icarus
• The Butterfly and the Fairies

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