ELC NEWS
This week the ELC celebrated International Bee Day. A big thank you to Tony Laudenbach, who is a real-life beekeeper, for visiting the ELC to tell us all about bees and to give us a close-up look at some of the tools used in beekeeping. As well as dressing up in bee colours, the children were engaged in a range of bee-inspired activities, including craft, storytelling, and learning provocations that encouraged curiosity about the natural world.
The ELC also participated in the National Simultaneous Story Time where over 2 million children around the country read the same story at the same time. This year’s book was The Truck Cat which is about friendship, belonging and finding a home.
Thank you to SJV for inviting us along to their athletics carnival last Friday. The ELC children jumped on the bus to Chapman oval to join in a day of fun-filled activities, novelty races, parachute games, long jump, shot put and running races.
Cross Country – Friday 23 May
This Friday is the St Jude’s Cross Country (weather permitting). The ELC children will run a shorter course of around 250m around the school oval at around 10am. Please ensure that children are wearing appropriate running shoes with their ELC uniforms.
