We began the day in a circle. First, we started with singing some songs and playing rhythmic instruments while singing. Secondly, everybody should choose a colored shawl of the rainbow and wear the color. Then we sang a song about the colors and the children started to dance. The next thing we tried to do, was making a group picture. This was actually very difficult because the children should sit in the order of the rainbow and not next to the children they liked. Consequently, some children were crying and running away.
Thirdly, Andrea took Kalen and Tanay home in order to make music with them. The other children had a snack break. After the snack we went on with free play. Later, Andrea made music with the children who are between 5 and 6 years old. The younger children were painting and the older ones made a Mayan Calendar and learnt new things about it. In the end Andrea made also separate music with the little ones. All the other children spent the time till lunch with making the Mayan Calendar.
After Lunch we had a lot of free play. At 3 pm a Kung Fu teacher came for the first time in order to teach the children Kung Fu and showing them how to juggle. The older ones really enjoyed this time.

Today it was the day of the ‘magnetic warrior’ and the color was red. Du to the fact that we started a little late, we already had the snack break after the circle. The day then started with free play. Other children went then on with painting or playing with the juggling balls. Later the kids begin to wear different costumes of the costume bag. Some of them changed their dresses every minute. At 1 pm we closed the day in a circle and sang some songs together.

Today we were in the ‘lunar earth’. The color of the day was orange and we started in a circle. We sang some songs till Alison arrived in order to make yoga with the children. In this time the little children started to paint their Mayan-Man. After yoga and painting we had a snack break. As everybody had enough some went into the garden in order to harvest the Ladyfingers for lunch. After that the children gave each other and us massages. The boys liked it very much because they got a kiss from Issa after the massage. So many of them had around ten massages because of the kiss in the end. After ‘working’ so hard we had lunch with our own Ladyfingers. Unfortunately they were not so got because they were really hard.
After the lunch Lisa played some games with Tanay and the other children joined us. In this time Nadine learnt the alphabet with Vincent and they started with counting. There was also a lot of free play in this time. At 3 pm Matthias came to play football with the boys.

As nearly every day we started in a circle. We sang our names because Camilla was there today and she did not know all the names. Then we played the game ‘fruit salad’ in the circle. After this the children were so hungry that we had the snack break. The next thing the children did was free play. Camilla, Issa, and Lisa started to ‘basteln’ and later other children joined us. Angelica also tried to teach the children a new game, the ‘snake game’. Actually this was an easy game but the children did not stay and listened very well so it was a bit difficult to play. Later Nadine read some stories and Lisa went on with making nice things with the other children.
