YESHIVA COLLEGE PLAYSCHOOL<br />

PRINCIPAL<br />

Dear Parents<br />

Our week has been jam-packed with activities pertaining to Yom Ha’Atzmaut.<br />

Flags have been stencilled, crowns stamped, songs sung and an awareness of Israel created.<br />

On Yom Ha’atzmaut itself, we have some exciting activities planned which will add a<br />

special dimension to the morning.<br />

In Parsha, we discussed brit milah. The children are generally fascinated with babies –<br />

they see themselves as very big! – and so they thoroughly enjoyed the “story”.<br />

Our first session aimed at strengthening the children’s core muscles, through exercises done with physio balls,<br />

started this week. Challenging but so worthwhile, the children had a great time!<br />

INSERVICE TRAINING<br />

On Monday, the Playschool and Nursery School teachers attended training by Nicole Canin, a counselling<br />

psychologist, on the subject, “Understanding Symptoms as a Means of Communication”. It was very interesting<br />

and informative and we look forward to putting newly gained knowledge to good use.<br />

LIBRARY BAGS<br />

A letter was sent out earlier this week with regard to the home library programme.<br />

As part of this programme, every child needs to have a library bag in which the book<br />

is placed. These may be purchased from your child’s teacher at a cost of R25.<br />

These bags will continue to be used during the course of Nursery School.<br />
