Summer Fun at St. Anne’s

 

Summer is here and it is time to have FUN IN THE SUN! During the summer months at St. Anne’s the children will be participating in many outdoor activities. If you have not done so already, please ensure your child has sun screen, hat, swim suit, towel, water bottle, and an extra change of clothes. Permission forms for applying sun screen are available at the front desk and in the classroom.

 

Each classroom teaching team has planned an active summer program including age appropriate activities such as water play, bubbles, chalk art, outdoor painting, picnics, gardening, field trips and nature walks. The children will be exploring topics such as insects, fruits and vegetables, plant life, ocean life, and water safety. Check with your child’s teacher for a complete activity plan.
