Theme 3 – Living Well

Playgroup

Dear Parents,

As we progress through the school year, we are excited to share the last theme of the First
Term "Growing Strong”. The key objective is to instil in our young learners an understanding
of the importance of personal hygiene for their overall well-being. Through engaging
activities, we will encourage your child to make wise dietary choices and maintain personal
cleanliness.
Using their senses, they will explore and gain a deeper understanding of different materials
and their unique properties.
Let's work together to make this thematic learning a memorable and enriching experience
for your child. Feel free to reach out to us with any questions or ideas you may have along
the way.

Warm regards,
Mrs. Nayyar Kiyani
