EASTER CELEBRATION AT SCHOOL

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Easter is on its way and so is the curriculum theme on “All Creatures Great and Small” which we will explore next week. Through planned learning experiences, the children will learn ways that families celebrate Easter and the symbols representing Easter. Included will be customs such as the Easter bunny, Easter baskets and foods that are usually associated with Easter.

At school, we celebrate Easter on Thursday, 5^th of April 2012 and

· a special visitor for a week – a rabbit! The children will assist in taking care of the rabbit.

· a hat shop in the dramatic play area with materials to create Easter bonnets.

· Easter grass and plastic eggs in the sensory table.

· An egg hunt! We will search our play yard for hidden eggs and place them in our baskets to exchange for gifts.

The topics covered on “All Creatures Great and Small” includes :

Pre-Nursery : PETS and Animals we cannot keep.

Nursery : Wild Animals, Sea Creatures and Fresh Water
Creatures.

Kindergarten 1 : Life in the Pond. Life Underground. Life in the
Rainforest, Life in the Desert and Polar Regions.

Kindergarten 2 : Pre-Historic Animals and Endangered Animals.

Thank you.
