Yoga In The Park

Veenu is a yoga instructor brought from India by the Indian Embassy of Stockholm to spread the yoga practice in Sweden.  We are lucky in that she will be joining us once a week to teach the children yoga.  This particular week, the peacocks and flamingos participated in yoga in the park.  The children were very attentive and determined to try all of the poses.  

Purpose: 

to develop the children's self control and body awareness

to develop the children's ability to follow directions

Connection to the Lpfö: 

The preschool should strive to develop each child's: 

motoric, coordination and understanding of their bodies as well as an understanding of the importance of taking car of their health and well-being. 

Entry Point of IPC food

We had one week as our entry point for our IPC  Food theme. Our entry point has been divided into different parts during the week. We had fun play in water with toy and real fruits and vegetable. Kids had a chance to differentiate between real and toy food by taking bites. Our second part was during our outing to the grocery shop in order to look at different kinds of food like vegetables, fruits, protein, milk products, bread, etc. Meanwhile, we had face time with the rest of the group who were watching us on the TV screen from the preschool. We also had fun picking up potatoes from the yard of the preschool. Later on we baked them together with some carrots. We had pretended shopping in the lunch room, by using real and toy food items. After the shopping we made salad out of different vegetables that we shopped during the pretend play. Everyone was happy and excited to eat the baked potatoes and the sallad we made.

Purpose:

• To introduce our IPC food in an interesting way.
• To know different kinds of food.
• To motivate our kids to learn more about food.
• To develop their language and communication skills.
• To develop their cognitive skills.

WELCOME BACK!

FALL 2018

Hello and welcome back Näsbypark preschoolers!  We are really looking forward to an exciting year with the exciting IPC theme...."Let's Pretend".  

Our Entry Point: 

To kick off the Let's Pretend unit, the children were encouraged to bring their favorite books and dress up as their favorite character from the story.  We had LOTS of Elsas, a Vaiana, transformers, batmans and a boy from Ghana.  The children participated in a character fashion show to show off their costumes.  The also took turns taking about their favorite stories.  This term we will use stories as the base of our Let's Pretend theme.  We will be targeting language and literacy skills in both Swedish and English.  The children will develop their story comprehension skills by being able to identify important story grammar components, sequence a story and retell stories to their friends.  We will also do a lot of play and act out the stories we have read.  Fun times to come!!

that we had to visit the tree with air balloons.
The tree also gave us magic flying powers, that made
us fly next to the tree.
