47,561 sek!!!!

This year Futura International Preschool Näsbypark participated in its first ever Walk-a-thon to raise money for our fundraiser Kids For Clean Water with www.water.org. What started as the ending point to the peacock’s and flamingo’s work with the IPC theme Super Humans, turned into a school wide event involving the parents and the community.  The children raised money through walk-a-thon sponsorship, raffle ticket sales and summer party ticket sales.  Thanks to all of the sponsors who made our raffle possible and those who donated food for our summer party (see below) we were able to surpass our goal of 40,000 sek.  The children have learned so much and have worked hard to raise awareness about the world water crisis.  As teachers we are extremely proud and parents you should be too!!! Please enjoy pictures of our journey.

Kids For Clean Water Walk-a-thon and Summer Party!!!

This year, we will celebrate the end of the school year with a Walk-a-thon and Charity Summer Party. The children will be learning about altruism by raising money to donate to our charity Kids For Clean Water at http://give.water.org/fundraiser/4934/.  As future citizens of the world, we want to prepare our students to be best versions of themselves by teaching awareness, compassion and kindness.  We also want to help the children develop an intrinsic motivation for helping others and find confidence and strength in their ability to impact and change the world.

At Futuraskolan International Täby, we work closely with the Swedish Curriculum, International Primary Curriculum- The Early Years (IPC) and The Convention on The Rights of The Child.  We also strive to develop the children awareness of healthy living and.  This year's Kids For Clean Water Walk-a-thon and Charity Summer Party, is the perfect compilation of all our focus areas!!!

Healthy Living:

The children will be learning about the important role water plays in our lives.  They will learn that not only is water important for our survival, but how easily many take for granted the use of water in our daily life.

IPC:

The groups at Näsbypark are working with the following IPC themes:

• All About Me: Penguins and Ducklings
• Changes: Kiwi's and Cockatoos
• Super Humans: Flamingos and Peacocks

All of these themes includes lessons regarding how water impacts our life, whether it is through the children's interests in water recreational activities, water-cycle, states of water, or the percentage of water and impact on the body.

The Convention on the Rights of the Child:

We work diligently to inform the children about their rights according to UNICEF's The Convention on the Rights of the Child.  Not only is it important for the children to develop understand their rights, but it is important for them to become aware that with every right we are assured, we must be aware of ways we can help to protect the rights of others.

Article 24 of The Convention on the Rights of the Child advocates the child’s right to adequate health care, safe drinking water, nutritious food and clean and safe environment.

Our responsibilities to protect others rights to health care, clean water, nutritious food and clean and safe environment:

• to make sure we take the care of ourselves
• not waste food and water
• do what ever they can to look after their environment

Swedish Preschool Curriculum: Lpfö 2010-Revised 2016

"An important  task of the preschool is to impart and establish respect human rights and the fundamental democratic values on which Sweetish society is based."

"The inviolability of human life, individual freedom and integrity, the equal value of all people, equality between the genders, as well as solidarity with the weak and vulnerable are all values that the preschool should actively promote in it's work with children."

"The preschool should take into account and develop children's ability to take responsibility and develop their social preparedness so that solidarity and tolerance are established at an early stage."
