Dear Peacocks parents,

 

What a wonderful way to end the week with the Olympics!

Please don’t forget our parent meeting we have on Monday evening from 18.00-20.00. Adriana will talk about the priorities of the school for this term and will introduce all the staff members. After that all parents will go to the teachers of their classroom and talk about the working plan and other practical information.

 

Who can come with us to the sports museum on Wednesday the 8th of October?

 

Our learning:

 

Monday:

In the morning we spoke about the sports activities we did last week.

In circle time we watched a movie where we saw Vanessa (Melvin’s mum) running the Stockholm marathon together with a team helping a child with disabilities. We talked about winning, losing and teamwork. The children were very impressed.

 

In the science room we divided the children in 3 groups. In one group the kids got to see a movie about basketball. We talked about the game and what the children already know about basketball.

 

We have been working on the following Lpfö goals:

* Develop their curiosity and enjoyment, as well as their ability to play and learn

* Develop their self-autonomy and confidence in their own ability

 

Tuesday:

In circle time Corrie showed the children some basketball movies and pictures. He explained the basics of the game. After that the children went to the gym in small groups where Corrie showed them how to dribble the ball and how to throw the ball. The children have been practicing themselves after.

 

In the library the kids read books and listened to stories.

In the afternoon they had capoeira lessons!

 

We have been working on the following Lpfö goals:

Wednesday:

We had a calm morning with toyday in the math and construction room. The kids enjoyed playing together and sharing their toys with each other.

 

In the afternoon we made a start with some children making the Olympic flag with finger paint. They had lots of fun and the flags look great!

 

We have been working on the following Lpfö goals:

Friday:

The big Olympics day! We would like to thank the parents that helped us today.

Together with the whole school we had snack, after that we opened the Olympics calling up all the groups and the country teams. After that the games begin! The children did the long jump, basketball, hurdle race and the 100 meter sprint. Together with all the countries we had a big relay race as a ending of the day. All the children did their best and it was a great day!

Also you will receive an email about our new theme in two weeks.

 

To be able to start our activities with all the children we we would like to let you know that we have snack and circle time at 9.30 and start our activities no later than 10.00.

We have seen that many children want their parents to stay longer, and that is very normal. Leaving your child at the pre-school can sometimes be a challenge. For children saying goodbye is more difficult when you stay for a long time. We know it can be though, but for the child it’s often better when you leave quickly after drop-off. Except of Monday when we have planning time, one of the Peacock teachers is always at school from 8.00.

 

We will have toyday every last wednesday of the month. The next toyday will be on the 29th of October.

We kindly ask you to not give your child toys to school on the other days.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us or speak directly with us.
