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

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:

* Develop their creative abilities and the ability to convey impressions and thoughts.

Thursday:

The children played outside in the rain in the puddles, they got a bit muddy, but they had lots of fun!

In the afternoon we baked with a small group, the other group will bake as well on Monday and Tuesday.

 

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!

 

On Monday we will have the ending of our Olympics team by giving out medals to the children. Also we will go to the Sports museum on the 8th of October, so we will stay a bit in the sports theme till then.

Important dates:

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.

Dear parents, 

 

Tomorrow we have the Olympics!

 

Fingers crossed it will be dry, but you know what they say… There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes!

 

So please make sure:

– Your child is at school at 8.30

– Has a water bottle with her/his name on it

– Dressed properly for the Olympics and according to the weather

 

Also we advise everybody to bring a extra set of clothes to school for your child, and leave it at their spot, in a bag so the children can change after the Olympics when they are sweaty and/or wet. 

 

We will have snack at the park and lunch at school, so the children don’t need to bring any food.

 

If you have any questions, please let us know!
