News March- April 2010

Hello everyone

Mummy's Breast.

Baby gurgles of sheer delight,
As mummy kisses your toes.
Baby makes each day so bright,
More beautiful than a rose.
Contented smiles slowly show,
As Mummy gives you her breast.
An aura of the purest glow.
Of a Mummy at her best.
Rewards come with Baby’s face,
Reflecting innermost content.
For Mummy’s breast is baby’s place
Her caring is well spent.
Each day Baby bathes in love,
Mummy radiant with her child.

I hear cooing of a Heavenly Dove,
As all around are beguiled.
Strength of a mother’s deepest feeling
I see in this picture of mine.
My very senses are reeling,
At a love that is divine.

Bernard Shaw

Welcome to the playway

We warmly welcome little Amirkhan, Leon and Limath to our play circle and hope very much you enjoy your time here.

Thank you and Bye, Bye! We are so… Sad.
A very big thank you to Ms Harshini Wijewardene for being a great strength to the playway from October 2008. She was truly loved by all the children and the staff at the playway and the Russian Centre. She genuinely loved her profession and developed tremendously as a professional. She has set professional goals and desires to achieve them. And therefore has requested leave for higher studies and it is our pleasure to assist her at achieving her goals. We get together to wish her great success in her future endeavors. We shall miss her so much. She leaves on March 10, 2010.

Our Current Theme remains as Mummies and Babies through the month of March. We shall be discussing the topic further with the children and a heap of activities are lined up with the same theme.

Flash Back: February 5, the children came to school in their traditional costumes and joined in the ‘perahera’ and singing and dancing on stage. It was a very colourful event which showed the strength of the unity in diversity in Sri Lanka.

Children fell in love with nature this Valentines when they were exposed to the beauty of the well preserved environment. They coloured their heart shaped cards for their Valentines in GREEN showing interest in preserving a greener world for them. They watched a documentary on how man can damage the beautiful eco system.

During my absence at the playway : Ms Amaal took up duty as my substitute and joined other teachers as a strong team. Thank you, Amaal and the team for being extra vigilant and caring. The children went on their regular play without getting disturbed. The whole process was closely monitored by Amaal and kept me informed.
Messy Paint sessions on 24 Wednesday was so full of fun and expressions!
Role play session as Mummy and Daddy was amazing! The photos will be uploaded shortly.

The water day was an absolute favorite!
Reminders: Brunch Please send a Brunch on every Friday as we witness a great enthusiasm in children having a change in their snack. Please send an additional dessert too if desired. The children will only have brunch around 11.00 am therefore we request the parents to give them a super breakfast at home as early as possible.
Reminders: Collection of Children the play ends for children less than three years at 11.15-11.30 am and parents are reminded to collect the children at that time. And the children who are above three should be collected by 12 noon. Your corporation in this regard is appreciated.

Also you are kindly reminded to collect your child at the door by gently knocking at the door and a teacher in charge will hand your child over as the remaining children (nursery children) should not be disturbed at each time. Please refrain from coming in and sitting, observing the children and talking to them unless there is a prior appointment. This request comes to you with the greatest interest in your children.
