It has been wonderful to welcome our youngest learners and their families back to the ELC this week after the Spring break. As educators, it is always exciting to see the children’s enthusiasm as they reconnect with peers and our learning program. The children are exuding happiness and confidence, which is demonstrated through their interactions, play and learning. 

This final term for the year is sure to be a busy yet exciting time in our educational programs. Special experiences have been planned to complement and extend upon the learning that is occurring in the classrooms. Our 3-year-old learners will participate in a woodworking workshop whilst our 4-year-old learners will go on an excursion to the Werribee Open Range Zoo.  

The children in each class will also participate in a whole group project to plan, design, and implement an end of year Celebration of Learning. Much discussion, debate, planning and rehearsing will go into this process. The children will be very excited to share their learning with you later in the term. 

Another important aspect of our Term 4 programs are the discussions, preparations, and orientation for the next stage in the children’s educational journeys. It is important that they are well-prepared and positively supported for these upcoming changes. This transition is embedded in our programs as the children commence the orientation process. 

We look forward to sharing an exciting term of learning, growth and celebration with the children and families in Campbell House.
