Week 46 - 47

Hi parents,

The week 46 has been eventful. The school´s cultural group had invited ´action circus´ that we watched on Tuesday. We all had lots of fun! You can  watch the show on the school´s facebook page.

Wednesday play – ´Loranga´ was a different experience. For the most of them this was their first play involving real actors and not puppets :-). Everyone liked the play for the craziness the story is known to have. However, they were scared of the loudness and close to reality scene but unrealistic solutions. They played in Blecktorns Park after the play. Some of them slept on the bus on the journey back to school. We are sure they slept well that night.

Week 47

We are counting on less eventful week 47 that would give us time for our routine activities. However, the Christmas singing rehearsals are going to happen as temporary activity keeping our Fridays packed.

Many thanks for your participation in the window activity this week. The window looks rich and well-dressed :-) Letter of the next week is P.

Week 45 - 46

Hi parents,

The children are showing vast improvement every week. They are settling into the school routines very well. This inspires us to introduce new activities that need more of their participation/active listening. We started with ´class host ´ this week. Class host is the child who goes through the day´s plan and the calendar, takes attendance, keeps track of time and helps the teachers with the lessons whenever needed. The idea is to encourage them to participate in the class routines and learn to present - speaking, body language and also listening to each other with respect.

Apart from the regular, we are working diligently on Class council where the children express their views and opinions freely to the two class representatives – Bella and Benjamin. This week´s topic was - taking responsibility for the things happening around them. We discussed how far it is OK to avoid telling on their friends. We concluded after several examples (Police, thief and we citizens) that one should say STOP to the friend not being nice to you or to the others and then go to the teacher if that friend does not stop. Moreover, we concluded that teacher should be informed in any case. The class unanimously opined that approaching the teacher directly is better than involving in the fight to help a friend. Responsibility towards material goods was also discussed. We talked about cleanliness in the toilets.

We made fox face with autumn leaves!

Today we talked about how to deal if a stranger approaches them with promises of candies and puppies. We pointed out that if it does not feel right, they should say ´´No, Thank you!´´ and contact a trustworthy grown up around them.

Week 46

On Wednesday, the 4^th of November the class is going to a play in a theatre located in Södermalm. We will leave at 9:00 which means that the children should be here by 8:50. The schedule for the play is very tight and we do not have possibility for waiting for the late comers. If it is not possible for you to drop your child before 8:50, you can drop them in FA. The children should bring packed lunch and water bottle from home. No nuts, sweets or carbonated drinks are permitted. Dress your child according to the weather.

Letter of the week is M. As we will be away on the Wednesday, we will work on the window on Thursday.

 

Have a nice weekend!
