Happy birthday Eva T

Reconciliation Week has been a focus of each of the classes over the past week. ELC children have taken part in the school’s book art project.  The lobster class have enjoyed reading “When the Snake Bites the sun” which raised the concepts of sharing and generated discussions around feelings.  The Turtle class read “Warnayarra the Rainbow Snake” before painting their own illustrations to match the story.  The Stingray class spent time with their year 5 buddy class and shared a book that Maggie and her family brought in being “The Invisible String”.  After a long process of brainstorming, voting and observing the two turtles have names.  One is Hide and the other is Seek.  The children had voted on Bluey and Dingo however, when they put the turtles in the middle of their class circle one hid in its shell and the other ran.  The children say they must be playing a game of hide and seek.

Natural Resources from the Coast – If you happen to be visiting the coast this weekend, please look out for natural resources that you could bring back to the ELC. We are hoping to collect shells, seed pods, driftwood and other interesting natural items.
