Year End Fairy Tales at the playway, December 09, 2011


Year End Fairy Tales at the playway, December 09, 2011
Dear Parent,
As mentioned in the NovDec Schedule, the playway will present fairy tales as the year end drama component!
Please be informed that this event is organized to give the young learner the confidence to come on stage and present himself/herself. We as Educators of Early Learners prefer children’s spontaneous actions to directed ones. Therefore, at the playway, we encourage children to come up with most of the actions while directing them where it is only necessary.  The characters were decided with the same idea in mind.

A special note of thank you: I am assisted by the staff at the playway, together with Yulia Edirisinghe, Editor of Monash University Student Association
( 2011/2012), Melissa Aluvihare, past President of the Literary Music and Drama society of Musaeus College Colombo and Kalani Kulathunga, Head Girl/ Vice President Literary, Music & Drama society of Musaeus College ( 2009/2010) in this event. Thank you ladies, for your patience, creativity and services.
Suggested Costumes: Please be advised that we would like to use mum -made costumes ( simple/ comfortable &  inexpensive) for all the characters for it will give a unique touch and a great feeling for the child…Please feel free to discuss how well we could do this (as soon as possible) as we need to have the costumes  ready by December 06 , at the playway.
Yours sincerely,
Neelika  Edirisinghe

 We take this opportunity to wish all of you a great year ahead! May all your birthday dreams come true!!!
Reminders!!!  Please be informed that the playway Fruit Breaks are on every Tuesday and Thursday. It is advised that you send your child his/her favourite fruit / fruit juice ( fresh juice please) on these days as we want children to have a positive attitude about fruit intake!!!
We encourage Brunch on Fridays! (Please send rice/ pasta/ noodles/pancakes or an assortment of items to choose from)
Normal Snack Days…Please try to send a variety of food items ie: yogurt, cheese, home -made sandwiches ,green gram, roti  or egg omelets  instead of sending one thing for a period of time. Very young children tend to get tired and could develop a negative attitude towards food if repeated for a period of time. Therefore, make sure your child’s pack of snack is interesting please!!!!
Also, please note that snack times are very special at the playway as we treat it to be the best time your child socializes with his/ her peers!!! Your child could gain a lot of self esteem if he/ she could enjoy what he gets as his/ her snack!!!
