Dear Peacocks parents,
In January we will start our theme ‘changes’ beginning with the book of the hungry caterpillar. For this we will already start collecting plastic bottle caps in all different colors and sizes.
We will make a big caterpillar and butterfly with it.
We would like to ask you to save them for us and leave them with us or in your child’s locker.
Thanks for your help!
Our learning:

This week is the last school week of this year. The children will have different activities every day they can choose from.

In the library we counted the days until Christmas.
The children were divided in three stations. Reading books, drawing, memorie and finishing the house top.
Together with the whole class we sang the song ‘up on a house top’. We recorded this. From every child we made a picture as a santa on the roof top. We made a movie of this, you can find it attached in a separate email.

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 28th of January.
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.
We will be outside in all weather conditions. Please bring clothes for your children that are appropriate for the weather. We can not change the weather and we will be outside in snow, rain and sun, it is important that your child has warm and rain proof clothes to wear.
If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us or speak directly with us.
We wish you a merry Christmas and are looking forward seeing everybody in 2015!
