High spirited children with the VakantiePas (holiday pass)
We are heading for the summer holiday, and also get to look forward to a new VakantiePas. A brochure in the size of a passport with many coupons and nice ideas for the holiday. As of 20th June elementary school children in The Hague will receive the Vakantiepass from their school. The pass represents a value of at least €300.00 of discounts for children, their parents and gives an overview of all the summer activities in the region and in the city.
The Vakantiepass gives children a chance to discover their living environment by stimulating them and enabling them to participate in ‘new’ activities. Activities can be visited with a discount and have been divided over many fields like for instance, art and culture, sports and recreation, nature and environment and human beings and their environment.
Theme: Power!
This year’s VakantiePass is related to the theme Power. In other words, children get power from all types of activities. Power can be found in everything: muscles, the heart, the stomach or the head. Power has the tendency to grow bigger and stronger. By talking, playing, learning, drawing, through music, food, visiting a museum and many ways more. With the VakantiePass children get to enhance their powerrr! They get to try playing an instrument, learning to climb or visiting hockey camp, taking care of yourself, dancing, juggling and much more.
This year, they also have the possibility to win tickets for Duinrell or even a bicycle. The VakantiePass dedicated an entire chapter on how they get to do this. Additional information is also mentioned on the internet site vakantiepas.nl with more information and activities that did not fit in the paper issue.
Passing from group 2 to 3
On Monday 4th July, the children of group 2 would like to show you that they are ready to go on to group 3. Parents will receive an invitation.
Getting acquainted
On the very same day, the children of groups 3-8 and Taal will get the opportunity to get acquainted to their new teacher.
Application for library (Vakantiebieb-app)
Our school children will soon receive a post card with instructions on how to use the application. Reading is important, which is why the library developed an application with many nice and adventurous eBooks. A nice way for children to keep on reading. Check out the website for additional information on www.vakantiebieb.nl.
Zagazoo
Our school is co-operating with Triodus Zagazoo for after school care. An after school care organisation located in our own school building. The Zagazoo takes care of children after school between 3pm and 6pm. Do not hesitate to come by for additional information or if you have questions.
Bicycles
Children of groups 7 and 8 need to use the bicycle racks next to our school (next to the gymnastics hall). Bicycles parked on the large school yard need to be placed in the racks correctly.
Calling
Please make sure to call our school every day, preferably before school starts or as soon as possible. When visiting a GP or other doctor, please make sure the teacher has a copy of the appointment.
Lunch cards and payments
Lunch cards can still be bought with Ms Hanny on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
We do, however, appreciate bank payments using our school no NL65ABNA0580598128, mentioning your child’s name and group. Please keep in mind to also mention that the payment was made for overblijf.
