As we step into September we hope for better weather. August has been humid and wet. The children have had to stay in for most of the day due to the rain and high levels of humidity.
The gardens are now looking lush and green and ready for some planting. We hope we will be able to start outside activities soon including planting the vegetable garden for the winter which the children enjoy so very much.

10th to 14th September	Observation of pre-school children at work. Observing the children at work gives parents an insight into the routine of the class each morning. You can watch your child from an adjacent class without him being aware of your presence. You will also have the opportunity to observe the functioning of the class as a whole unit. Individual notes will be sent to you regarding timings.

Security Passes
Please be reminded to wear your security pass when you enter in the mornings and collect your children in the afternoons. Many parents do not think this rule is important. Please remember the importance of security for your children for whose benefit this rule is being enforced. You may request the office for an additional pass if required.

Reminder – Kerala Relief Fund
the magic years appeals to each of you to make monetary donations by cheque only to "THE MAGIC YEARS KERALA FLOOD RELIEF FUND". We are working to identify the right organization to which we will pass on all collections and will send updates when we have done the same. The devastating deluge has displaced over 14 lakh people.
