We will have a Nobel lunch with the whole school and the dress code is black tie. We can not change all the children to their black tie outfits, but we can help them but on their tie or accessorize just before lunch.
Lucia: On Friday December 12th is it Lucia! We are already practicing the songs and the kids are discussing what to wear. They are welcome to bring Lucia clothes (f.ex. stjärngossar, tomte/santa, Gingerbread man or lucia) to school. We can get them dressed before we go outside to sing in the afternoon. BUT, please make sure the clothes are big enough to put over their jackets. Or tell your child they will have their clothes underneath.
We have toyday every last Wednesday of the month. The children can bring one toy (game or toy to share) to school. The children and us try to take the best care of the toys but small toys may get lost. We kindly ask you to not give your child toys to school on the other days. Our next toyday will be on the 17st of December.
It is getting darker! When you pick up your child, make sure you tell the signing out person (yellow vest) that you picked up child as it is very difficult for this person to see everything that is happening in the yard.
Also it is important to tell the signing in person in the morning (yellow vest) if someone else is picking up your child.
If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us or speak directly with us.
