Dear parents,

This is our last newsletter before summer starts! The year went very quick but before we say goodbye, a little update over the past 2 weeks.

Last week we have been working on New Zeeland and this week we worked on South Africa.
Chiara’s mom brought food, a map of the country, accessories and she painted the flag on everybody’s cheek. Thank you for all the help.
Also we have celebrated Vincents’ and Chiara-Julies’ birthday. We have been to the park and outside and we have played in the building in all the new rooms.


The lockers of the children will be moved by the new teachers to a new spot. All the clothes that were at their locker, we have putted in bags to take home.
The next semester will start on the 29th of July. Please tell the new teachers if your child will be starting on that date or maybe later.

We would like to thank your a fantastic year. All the great talks we had with you, the help with activities and the care for all the children. We wish you all a good summer and hope to see everybody after summer again!

All the best,

Ashlee, Florentine (and Corrie from the USA of course)

Have a nice summer!!

Dear Parents! First of all, I would like to thank you all for this great term! It has been an amazing journey. It has been a pleasure to work with our amazing staff and our wonderful kids and I am really proud to have you all as our parents. I have never experienced such a great group of parents that are always willing to cooperate, to help and contribute. That is why we have such a great atmosphere here at our pre-shool. This is called great team work and it can only get better and better. The pre-school is getting prepared for the summer vacations. We have been doing our Development talks, we have already rearranged the new teachers groups and children´s groups… BUT the final groups will be announced on the 20th july. We have already had our summer party. Thank you all for a great day! I wish all the luck for our graduates that will start at school in august. I have all the reasons to be proud of you! We have a lot of children that will start with us in august and we will also be hiring new staff. It´s important for you all to know that our staff is not going anywhere. We are all looking forward to the next term and the developments we are planing for our pre-school! We will be hiring new staff because we will have more children 🙂 We may reopen the Kiwis- classroom All the staff have already received their own Ipads and every classrooms will also have their own Ipads. In august we will start with a lot of workshops about pedagogical Apps in order to work with our kids. Futuraskolan is the stepstone of our future citizens and we need to give the children a fun learning environment as well as the the access to new technology. Next term will be all about our pedagogical learning environment, new technology and also about the IPC (International pre-school curriculum) and the Lpfö98 (Swedish pre-school curriculum revised 2010) It´s really important to sincronize the IPC with the Lpfö98 I would like to send you our brochure (I love it!) http://www.futuraskolan.se/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Pass_Forskola_Eng1.pdf The pre-school will close it´s activities from 01st july until 28th july. We will provide summer day care for those parents that will work during the summer. I will be taking my vacations during the first two weeks of july and will be back at the pre-school on week 29. I would like to wish you all a great summer! I hope you get a lot of sun and that you are able the load your batteries! I will surely do that! I am looking forward to the new term, new challenges and to meet our kids again. Thank you all for everything! Best regards Adriana – Principal

Dear parents,
I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for this year.
As you all know, I will be working next school year 3 days a week at the Dutch school.
Next to teaching I will be the educational leader of the school.
It is a fantastic opportunity for me to learn a lot more about the organizational part of the school.
I have learned a lot from and with your children and I will always have good memories of ‘our’ Cockatoos class!
Thank you all for a fantastic year!

All the best,

Florentine

Dear parents,

Our learning

This week we talk about Chile. We made the flag and we draw the sculptures from Easter Island.
We had on Friday special cookies from Chile. On Wednesday we had the Summer Party. We have been practicing a lot and it was a great afternoon. Thank you for attending this event and for the lovely food.
As you may have seen, our room is now the gym. We are very happy with all the changes and the rooms. The children have been enjoying playing in all the different rooms. 
Next week we will talk about New Zeeland. The week after that we have our last country for this year, South Africa.

Information from us 

Today, Friday 14th, is our last day as Cockatoos team. Corrie will go home to America to have a vacation. After the summer Corrie will be one of the teachers in the Peacocks. Ashlee will stay in the Cockatoos. As you may have heard from other parents or in your development talk, Florentine will stop working at Futura Skolan. She will be working more for the Dutch school. On Ashlee will be working till the 28th of June, Florentine will be working till the 5th of July and then they both will enjoy their vacation.
Friday the 28th of June we will have a nice snack together to wish everybody a good summer. We would like to ask all the parents to come and have snack with us. If you would like to bake a little thing, please bring! We will have snack from 15.00-16.00.

We have noticed that not all the children have rain clothes at school. Also not all of them have extra clothes (socks, underpants, normal pants and shirts). We would like to ask you to bring rain clothes and boots to school and extra clothes for the children.

 

We have noticed that the gate at the front yard is not always closed entirely. We want to ask all the parents to close the gate with both locks. This is for your child’s safety.

 

The next and last Toy day of this term will be on Wednesday the 19th of June. All the children can bring 1 item to school that they want the share with their classmates. Please keep in mind that toy-day is a sharing moment and that little toys may get lost.

Dear parents,

Our learning

This week we talk about Ireland. We learned about their history, the flag, St Patrick’s Day and much more.
Throughout the week we colored in some pictures and the Irish flag. We also baked some rainbow cookies which represented St Patrick’s Day. There was an M&M in the middle which was the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The kids loved the different colors of the cookies! Because the weather was so nice today, we have taken a break from the theme and had a fun filed day of play in the sun! Days like today are so rare!!

Information from us 

We have noticed that not all the children have rain clothes at school. Also not all of them have extra clothes (socks, underpants, normal pants and shirts). We would like to ask you to bring rain clothes and boots to school and extra clothes for the children.

 

On Wednesday the 12th of June is the Summer Party. All the parents are welcome between 15.00 and 17.00 am. This summer party will have the theme Brazil! The children will perform a dance for all the parents. We will be making the outfit for the children to wear on that day.  After the presentation there is time to talk to each other. We want to ask you to prepare little dish/cake/drinks… for the children and parents. There is a list hanging in at the entrance where you can write down what you would like to bring to the Summer Party. This way we have not a lot of left over’s and everybody can bring something else.

 

We have noticed that the gate at the front yard is not always closed entirely. We want to ask all the parents to close the gate with both locks. This is for your child’s safety.

Dear Parents!

 

Last thursday we had our first Market day and Art exhibition.

It was a great event where children, teachers and parents were able to mingle and spent some quality time together.

 

I would like to thank all the teachers and children for preparing such a wonderful Art Exhibition . 

It was amazing to see the beautiful work! Thank you for your efforts!

 

I would also like to thank all the parents that helped in the market day.

We got a lot of donations and also delicious baking that we were able to sell during this day.

Thank you all the parents for the great effort!

We were able to raise the amount of 2.217,00 sek !!!!

We will use the money wisely to prepare our Summer party!!

 

All the clothes and toys that we were not able to sell have been donated to Erikshjälpen http://erikshjalpen.se/

As Vanessa said: "Great win-win! The pre-school made some money, and we could also donate to charity."

 

Thank you once again to everybody that helped!!

 

Now, changing the subject a little bit…

Last week-end all the children ad staff did the LICE TREATMENT…

Accordibg to the instructions, we are ll supposed to treat again after 7 days.

This is because the lice eggs may "pop" after 1 week,  and now we need to do the treatment again.

It is also important to use a nit/lice comb and use it everyday in order to check that we are free of lice.

For long hair, the best way is to have them wet with balsam…Then it´s easier to comb.

 

I apreciate everybody´s cooperation!

 

Have a great week-end!

Best Regards
