Tulips

This week is our first week to work with our IPC theme, so we started the first day of the week with our entry point for the theme which is "All About Me". Our Tulips got to look at their own pictures and try to recognize which one was theirs. Afterwards we put up pictures on different spots in the classroom and the Tulips got to look for their own pictures, find them and give them to their teachers. 

Lilies

Lilies: Library Outing

Lilies had so much fun visiting The Djursholm Library last Thursday. We started our trip by walking in our famous caterpillar and caught the bus to Djursholm Centrum. We enjoyed a delicious snack outside and went into the library soon afterwards. Our little Lilies were so excited to see so many books at one place and were so busy taking different books and looking through their interesting pages. We also tried to find some books we will need for our Let's Pretend Theme and had a great time reading all those new and fascinating books. 

We have been working on the following Lpfö goals:

“develop an interest in the written language and an understanding of symbols, and communicative function”

 “develop an interest in picture, texts and different media, as well as the ability to make use of, interpret and talk about them” 

The Sunflowers

Today during quiet time we introduced the children to our IPC theme "Clothes". We read the story of the "Emperor's New Clothes". All of the children got to play characters in the story as we brought it to life. You can find the story in all languages on line and at most libraries. 

Lpfö

Develop their creative abilities and the ability to convey impressions, thoughts and experiences in many different forms, such as play, pictures, song and music, dance and drama 

Jolly Phonics comes to our school!

We are introducing the Jolly phonics at the pre-school

What is Jolly Phonics?

Jolly Phonics is a fun and child centered approach to teaching literacy through synthetic phonics. With actions for each of the 42 letter sounds, the multi-sensory method is very motivating for children and teachers, who can see their students achievements.

 

 

Lilies - Capoeira

Capoeira Movements 

Today the Lilies had their first Capoeira class. Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, aerobics and music and is sometimes referred to as a game. It's the system of physical discipline and movement.

China, the teacher is from Brazil. He also did a short presentation of Capoeira for the class. The lilies were very excited and enjoyed the class thoroughly!

Lpfö:

Develop their motor skills, ability to co-ordinate, awareness of their own body, as well as an understanding of the importlandet of maintaining their own health and well-being;

Develop their ability to function individually and in a group, handle conflicts and understand rights and obligations, as well as take responsibility for common rules

The Sunflowers

Welcome to the first blog entry of the new school year. The Sunflowers have spent the day enjoying the good weather while it lasts. This morning we enjoyed circle time outside and also had some fine motor skills crafts in the sunshine. 

LPFÖ 98 (rev.2010)

Welcome to a new school year!

Dear Futuraskolan parents & children

Welcome back to our wonderful pre-school!

I hope that you all had great vacations and that you had the chance to charge your batteries

and enjoy family and friends! There is nothing like summer!!

This is the start of a new school year and we are all very excited to meet your beautiful children again! We have several exciting themes, activities and traditions that we will be celebrating during this term and we are sure we will make this school year even better than the last one :-)

August is a month when a lot of new things happen: Many new children start at the pre-school (a lot of schooling-in:s), children start in their new groups, with new friends and teachers. We are all getting together and sharing our stories from the past summer.

We will be sending more information throughout august about our new themes and activities and we will start with our new Units from the IPC-curriculum on 1st september.

This will give time for the groups to settle down and be prepared.

Besides working with the swedish national curriculum Lpfö98 and the IPC- EY International primary curriculum early years, we will be working intensively with the Jolly phonics- Which is a playful method that focus on phonetics. More information will be given during parents meeting on the 28th september 18.00-20.00.

We will continue focusing on learning and healthy living.

Healthy body = Healthy soul = Healthy & Happy children= Great learning!!

Healthy eating is very important and we will be transforming the pre-school in a non-sugar pre-school. Of course we will continue to bake and have our celebrations with the children but we will be using fruits and honey instead of sugar. More information will be given in the parents meeting.We will even continue with our dance classes and Capoeira but we will also introduce Yoga in our daily activities.

I would like to remind all parents that

the pre-school will be closed on the 14th august  and 17th august

for kick-off and Staff development/planning day.

OBS: If you need childcare during these days, you have to contact me until 11th august!

Welcome back and fasten your seat belts!

Be prepared for a new and great journey

Best regards
