ELC News
The Turtles and Stingrays had an exciting Bus Wash excursion on Monday 9 September. They learned about public transport and about travelling safely. They went to the bus depot, where the buses go to be repaired, washed and to rest when they’re not on the road. They drove past the police station and the fire station and the they played lots of games along the way. Parents, be prepared for endless games of ‘spotto’ and some driving advice from the backseat when you’re out in your car from now on! The Lobsters are looking forward to their bus adventure tomorrow.
Floriade – The ELC children have be busy painting their gnomes to send to Gnome Knoll at Floriade. Gnomes are $12 each and support the Rotary Club of Canberra.
