Morning activities

We organise morning activities in schools before lessons for 1st and 2nd graders, as well as for 3rd and 4th graders who have an administrative decision regarding learning support. Participation is voluntary and free of charge.

Morning activities give a good start to the child's school day. The free-form and partly guided activities can include play, games, outdoor recreation, rest and reading. Building friendships and learning interaction skills are in the core of the activities.

Schools organise morning activities according to their schedules and school-specific operating hours. The activities are not organised during school holidays or on Saturday school days.

Breakfast is not included in the morning activities, but children can bring their own snacks.

For children who have a decision regarding their teaching arrangements due to a disability, illness, or functional limitation, morning activities are organised in their own group at the child's school.
