Over the past five weeks, the ELC children, staff and families have been forming relationships and establishing a sense of belonging within their new ELC environment.  As stated in the Early Years Learning Framework, “Children’s lives are characterised by belonging, being and becoming. From before birth children are connected to family, community, culture and place. Their earliest development and learning takes place through these relationships, particularly within families, who are children’s first and most influential educators. (p.7)” Children have been proudly introducing their families to their class through family photos, stories and drawings.  This week the children have explored a special family, Jesus’ family.

Happy birthday Dr Seuss! On Tuesday, the Turtle class along with their 5L buddies celebrated Dr Seuss birthday by dressing in colours or as characters from his books.
