Dear parents,

 

Another fortnight has past and we are spending more and more time outside with the children, especially exploring the forest more often, having our fruit and singing sitting in the moss is something both children and us teachers enjoy.

 

This week has been a busy week with parent teacher meetings, skräpplockar dagen and gardening day. On Monday we took part in an initiative to keep Sweden clean, walking in our surroundings and picking up rubbish, equipped with gloves and bags. We cleaned up the back garden and the border to the forest, the children did really well and spotted lots of little pieces of rubbish hiding in the grass. And on Thursday we had a gardening day when we planted our own sunflower seeds and wildflowers, which we now are eager to see grow.

 

Now we are moving into warmer times so it is time to review what clothes are appropriate and as weather is very temperamentful this season please make sure that there are rain trousers, rain jacket as well as sun hat and sunscreen for your child every day.

An other suggestion is to supply a water bottle for your child marked with their name that they keep in their clothes spot so when dressing and undressing they have access to it. As we are out in the sun we want to keep them hydrated and always given them a fruit snack with water in the middle of the outside time but to see their own bottle might help to trigger them to drink more frequently.

 

A reminder of school holidays next week. Wednesday the 16th we close regular care at 14.00, Thursday we are closed for bank holiday (kristihimmelsfärd) and Friday we are open as normal but all penguin teachers are on holiday so the class will have substitutes and a regular staff from another class.

 

Your penguin teachers

Sandra, Angelika and Corrie
