Happy Birthday Mira

We have had confirmation that Floriade will go ahead this year. Our gnomes have arrived ready to paint so we can add them to the Floriade exhibit. We have also been busy growing flower bulbs to create our very own Floriade garden here at the ELC. If you have any unwanted black planting pots that you can donate, please drop them in so we can use them for them for our bulbs.

Mr Reed joined the Stingray and Turtle class on Mura Gadi this week. He joined us in an Acknowledgment of Country to begin our Mura Gadi session, helped make a ‘campfire’ to roast marshmallows and used sticks to measure various objects.

      

Book Week

In Week 7 we will celebrate Book Week. This year’s theme is ‘Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds’.  On Friday 27 August, Turtle and Lobster children are encouraged to come to school dressed up as something from an old world, new world or other world, or as a character from their favourite book.  Stingrays will have their costume parade on Monday 30^th.

COVID-19 adjustment and changes

Thank you for your understanding and support during these challenging times. It is important that we all ensure that only 6 adults (over 16yrs) are in the foyer area at any one time. Please remember to maintain 1.5m distance at all times.

Check-in CBR

We are asking all adults - staff, parents, carers and visitors to use the Check In CBR app when they enter ELC grounds. The general rule is, if you leave your vehicle or come inside the school gate, find a QR code and check in.

Parent workshop

We are very fortunate to have access to the primary school councillor, Olivia Bowring-Greer. Olivia will be running a workshop ‘The road to resilient children’ on Wednesday 25 August (week 6). She will discuss what resilience is and how this can affect and/or benefit children. As your children are preparing for Kindergarten next year, you might find this topic particularly helpful.

Hats

As we approach August, the sun UV is getting higher. ELC staff check the UV each day, once it is three and higher children must wear hats. Please ensure your child has a hat packed each day. The uniform shop has hats available if required. Please ensure hats are clearly labelled.
