It was 'wet break' so the children had their break time indoors. Florence, Laura and Miranda were relaxing and chatting. |
Reuben was playing with the toy dogs in the hammock |
Nicholas James was sorting the pencils in the pencil pot (turning them all the same way up), with the stationery drawer beside him |
The stationery drawer open |
Anna the teacher was relaxing with a cup of tea in her office |
Miranda asked the teacher for the weekend book |
Anna gave Miranda the weekend book |
Miranda gave the weekend book to Florence who read out loud what she had recorded in the book over the weekend |
Miranda went to the swing hoist rope and untied it |
She stood in the hoist loop and gripped the rope tightly to pull herself up to the swing |
She pulled herself up to the swing |
She strapped herself into the swing with the hoist rope and swung gently forward and back |
Reuben was very surprised to see that Miranda had climbed up to the swing without any help |
The others came to see Miranda having a break time swing |
Anna came to call the children back to class |
Leaving her new chair |
The children gathered to hear the lesson |
Anna talked all about making the swing and promised that the children would learn how to tie knots |
(Nicholas James is wearing a Dollydoodles hoodie I bought at Dawn's house in June. This summer has been too warm for him to wear it, however now that autumn has arrived, he was pleased to change his clothes to jeans and hoodie.)

What a wonderful story your daughter wrote and a lot of effort into preparing all the wonderful props. Looks like the kids have a lot of fun in her schoolroom. It reminds me so much of what my boys school classes were like when they were young. The chair is excellent and fits the teacher perfectly. Fabulous post!
Delightful! I see an up and coming miniaturist here. Roll on her dioramas!
The post is great! Thank you very much that I can participate. The Girl has made things with her hands so terrifically! I anderstand the history without translater:-))
Well done to your little girl for yet another great story with excellent dolls and props! She really is very imaginative and it's lovely that she's happy to share with us all, so that we can enjoy her play too!
Hello from Spain: I love Florence, Laura and Miranda and the outfits that they wear. They look like real children. I like the pictures in which they play. Great job. Keep in touch
A lovely story and love the lollystick teachers chair, looks very good and the swing was very clever.
All the Sasha's and gregor's looked very nice in their warmer clothes.
Her school reminds me a bit of Montesorri schools - discovery by play. My girl didn't make the children learn maths and grammar or practice their handwriting, instead they learn about tying knots (very practical). Mind you, she could have gone on longer so we might have got the formal learning in due course. Maybe the lack of formal stuff was because they didn't have chairs and desks.
What a wonderful story, and quite a learning experience.
Thank you for sharing.

The day spent at school was very interesting to read about. I enjoyed the story and the pictures followed the storyline very well.
Your daughter has imagination and skill - building the stationary storage was very clever. I loved the rope swing - I wish I had one!
