Update Information

Dear Parents
We send our greeting to you once more.
.English
A Reading Development Test was done and the result was absolutely great. The majority of the children have “Reading Interest” at the moment.A few children need only a handful of weeks of  constant reading to get there. After the autobiographies have been handed in the students will write yet another narrative before being introduced to write
argumentative texts
Mathematics
Many children have completed the topic The Place Value of Numbers and progressed to Decimal Numbers. There is a need to integrate a mastery of multiplication tables to ease dealing with divisions.
 Natural Sciences
The students will continue to watch a series of researches that have been done by different specialists, a way of integrating our study of the human body to provide acceleration to the students that require more challenge. They have  already  watched how transformation of cells can cause deformities and unique diseases and how research done  with different cells can create a break  through in curing some diseases.
https://urplay.se/program/204602-enastaende-manniskor-livsoden They watched the link. It will also be on the blog. We will start with a digital NTA project about the human body.
Homework
The children have to do Mathematics page 76 to 79 Matteborgen 5A.
New spelling words will be available to them. There is a wealth of vocabulary that can only be remembered by students if they have the chance to get the repetitive moment of spelling them.
Appraisal  Talks (Utvecklingssamtal)
Parents showed up promptly for the “Utvecklingssamtal”. We are assigned only 2  days to hold per class two allow every group to have access to rooms available for holding the talks. The parents who show up at the assigned time also allow us more time to engage with working with students. We have cherished your cooperation with us very much.
Skolplattform
The Skolplattform is already in operation. I managed to share some documents already which some could access to. I hope all parents have already updated their personal information on Skolplattform.

Best Regards

Jacqueline , Gülnaz, Cathrine and Ulla

Happy Summer Holiday





Happy Summer holidays

The presents received are highly cherished by us and our families.

 Many of our young ones may start having traits of puberty setting in. For some children and parents, it is a smooth ride. For some parents the patience of Job is required. What is great is that all parents are endowed with the perfect intuition to embrace these transitions. This is the time the children need our absolute understanding. We all need one another as parents and as members of  our wonderful community for  smooth sailing.

 Enjoy holidays. Enjoy the company of your children. Until we meet again and join hands again for nurturing, grooming and educating our children collectively, we echo.

 Happy Summer Holidays

Happy Easter


The Bible makes no mention of a long-eared, short-tailed creature who delivers decorated eggs to well-behaved children on Easter Sunday; nevertheless, the Easter bunny has become a prominent symbol of Christianity’s most important holiday. The exact origins of this mythical mammal are unclear, but rabbits, known to be prolific procreators, are an ancient symbol of fertility and new life. According to some sources, the Easter bunny first arrived in America in the 1700s with German immigrants who settled in Pennsylvania and transported their tradition of an egg-laying hare called “Osterhase” or “Oschter Haws.” Their children made nests in which this creature could lay its colored eggs. Eventually, the custom spread across the U.S. and the fabled rabbit’s Easter morning deliveries expanded to include chocolate and other types of candy and gifts, while decorated baskets replaced nests. Additionally, children often left out carrots for the bunny in case he got hungry from all his hopping.
Did You Know?
The largest Easter egg ever made was over 25 feet high and weighed over 8,000 pounds. It was built out of choclate and marshmallow and supported by an internal steel frame
Easter is a religious holiday, but some of its customs, such as Easter eggs, are likely linked to pagan traditions. The egg, an ancient symbol of new life, has been associated with pagan festivals celebrating spring. From a Christian perspective, Easter eggs are said to represent Jesus’ emergence from the tomb and resurrection. Decorating eggs for Easter is a tradition that dates back to at least the 13th century, according to some sources. One explanation for this custom is that eggs were formerly a forbidden food during the Lenten season, so people would paint and decorate them to mark the end of the period of penance and fasting, then eat them on Easter as a celebration.
Easter egg hunts and egg rolling are two popular egg-related traditions. In the U.S., the White House Easter Egg Roll, a race in which children push decorated, hard-boiled eggs across the White House lawn, is an annual event held the Monday after Easter. The first official White House egg roll occurred in 1878, when Rutherford B. Hayes was president. The event has no religious significance, although some people have considered egg rolling symbolic of the stone blocking Jesus’ tomb being rolled away, leading to his resurrection.
Easter is the second best-selling candy holiday in America, after Halloween. Among the most popular sweet treats associated with this day are chocolate eggs, which date back to early 19th century Europe. Eggs have long been associated with Easter as a symbol of new life and Jesus’ resurrection. Another egg-shaped candy, the jelly bean, became associated with Easter in the 1930s (although the jelly bean’s origins reportedly date all the way back to a Biblical-era concoction called a Turkish Delight). According to the National Confectioners Association, over 16 billion jelly beans are made in the U.S. each year for Easter, enough to fill a giant egg measuring 89 feet high and 60 feet wide. For the past decade, the top-selling non-chocolate Easter candy has been the marshmallow Peep, a sugary, pastel-colored confection. Bethlehem, Pennsylvania-based candy manufacturer Just Born (founded by Russian immigrant Sam Born in 1923) began selling Peeps in the 1950s. The original Peeps were handmade, marshmallow-flavored yellow chicks, but other shapes and flavors were later introduced, including chocolate mousse bunnies.

In New York City, the Easter Parade tradition dates back to the mid-1800s, when the upper crust of society would attend Easter services at various Fifth Avenue churches then stroll outside afterward, showing off their new spring outfits and hats. Average citizens started showing up along Fifth Avenue to check out the action. The tradition reached its peak by the mid-20th century, and in 1948, the popular film Easter Parade was released, starring Fred Astaire and Judy Garland and featuring the music of Irving Berlin. The title song includes the lyrics: “In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it/You’ll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade.”
The Easter Parade tradition lives on in Manhattan, with Fifth Avenue from 49th Street to 57th Street being shut down during the day to traffic. Participants often sport elaborately decorated bonnets and hats. The event has no religious significance, but sources note that Easter processions have been a part of Christianity since its earliest days. Today, other cities across America also have their own parades.
