globegarden Newsletter June 2013 Editorial............................................................................... Dear parents, globegarden friends and interested readers, After a very cold and wet spring, we are all very much looking forward to a beautiful summer. After the last sunny days, which we could enjoy outside in parks, the lake or playgrounds, we believe summer cannot be long. Warm regards and enjoy reading! globegarden Industriestrasse pedagogic head: Eva-Maria Gerl Industriestrasse 6 6300 Zug Tel: 041 710 92 00 [email protected] Certified Quality Management «International Education Excellence» globegarden - a great place to grow! page 2 of 23 ü globegarden Newsletter June 2013 From our globegarden………….…………………………… Theme of the Month May was all about family. First we prepared presents for our mommies. In the Infants & Toddlers group we created picture frames and the Twos coloured flower pods in which they then planted flowers. The pre-kindergarten children cooked strawberry marmalade. With these presents we want to say thank you to our mommies for all their love and care! Also we learned who our mommies and daddies, our sisters and brothers, our grandmothers and – fathers and our uncles and aunts are with the help of lots of different games! What was also very important for us this month was independence. The children were encouraged to do things on their own on a daily basis and were supported by the teachers in the different activities of our daily lives. This strenghtend the children’s self-confidence a lot! One of the month’s highlights was the visit of an elderly lady who sang Swiss children’s songs together with us and accompanied our songs on the piano. Of course we crafted a lot like every month. In May, we crafted butterflies and snails with different techniques while we saw spring unfold outdoors. Whenever it was nice outside, we spent time outdoors and thought of activities that we could do in front of our globegarden – like painting the sidewalk with colourful chalk or having a boot race! Discovering Day In every group, we studied the nature around us and experimented outside during our daily trips outdoors. Although it rained a lot, the children enjoyed the daily excursions in the nature surrounding us. The children moved around and could make many experiences with their gross motor skills on different playgrounds nearby. We observed birds and also a brimstone butterfly which was especially exciting! The experience and impressions of these trips were further discussed in the learning sequences indoors where we deepend our knowledge and learned knew things with the help of different learning materials. We sang seasonal songs like “Kuckuck, Kuckuck, ruf’s aus dem Wald”, “Es war eine Mutter” and “Es Certified Quality Management «International Education Excellence» globegarden - a great place to grow! page 3 of 23 ü globegarden Newsletter June 2013 regnet ohne Unterlass”. Trip of the Month On the day of our planned trip, it was raining immensely. In this way, the day turned to a special experience for our children – because we held our picnic in the movement room downstairs! Thanks to the interest of the children and the support and ideas of the staff members, we enjoy a stimulating and happy atmosphere at our globegarden Industriestrasse every day! Idea of the Month Brikenda had the idea of body painting with the babies which was a great experience for all their senses! In the meantime the Twos group visited the paint studio downstairs on a regular basis and created the most beautiful pictures!

Jeder einzelne Sonnenbrand im Kindesalter erhöht das Risiko, später an Hautkrebs zu erkranken. Ein schwerer Sonnenbrand kann sogar lebensbedrohend sein und muss sofort ärztlich behandelt werden. Keine Sonnenstrahlen für Babies Besonders gefährdet sind Säuglinge. Sie sind der UV-Strahlung praktisch schutzlos ausgeliefert und dürfen daher nicht in die direkte Sonne. Innert Kürze würden sie einen Sonnenbrand erleiden und ihre Augen könnten Schaden nehmen. Verwenden Sie für die empfindliche Babyhaut keine Sonnencreme. Schützen Sie Babys mit sonnengerechten Kleidern - und vor allem mit Schatten. Sonnenexposition frühestens im 2. Lebensjahr Im zweiten Lebensjahr darf Ihr Kind gut geschützt ein wenig in die Sonne. Auch Sonnencreme können Sie jetzt anwenden (physikalische Filter verwenden). Tragen Sie eine halbe Stunde bevor Sie in die Sonne gehen eine grosszügige Menge Creme auf nicht bedeckte Körperstellen. Nach dem Baden muss sie erneuert werden. Doch auch mit Sonnenschutz sollte Ihr Kind nicht zu lange in der Sonne sein. Die starke Mittagssonne von 11-15 Uhr muss auf jeden Fall gemieden werden. Nutzen Sie den Vor- und Nachmittag für Aufenthalte im Freien. Certified Quality Management «International Education Excellence» globegarden - a great place to grow! page 5 of 23 ü globegarden Newsletter June 2013 Schatten und sonnengerechte Kleidung Kinder müssen ab UV-Index 3 (mittlere Strahlungsstärke) geschützt werden: durch Kleidung, breitrandige Kopfbedeckung und Sonnenbrille mit UV-Filter. Kinder sollten vorwiegend im Schatten spielen, besonders zwischen 11 und 15 Uhr, wenn die UV-Strahlung am stärksten ist. Die Kleider sollten aus engmaschigem Stoff und nicht eng anliegend sein. Achten Sie darauf, dass die Schultern Ihres Kindes auch beim Baden mit einem T-Shirt oder Badekleid bedeckt sind. Vorsicht: Auch unter dem Sonnenschirm kann die UV-Strahlung noch beträchtlich sein. Zusätzlicher Schutz mit Kleidung, Sonnencreme und Brille ist notwendig.
