It has been very quiet at the ELC with a few students each day joining us for Preschool while others have enjoyed completing tasks at home. The staff continue to develop interesting, rich, learning experiences for all students. For our students learning from home we have been sending a rubric each Monday morning. In the rubric we have outlined relevant Seesaw activities. We love seeing the students connect with the activities and appreciate them documenting their work to show the staff and fellow classmates. It is important to us to keep this relationship strong.

Next week we will offer a MS Teams meeting for students. It is our hope that this short interactive meeting will provide an opportunity for students to engage with each other and the staff, and for many Preschoolers it will give them a chance to be like their older sibling. We sent expressions of interest to families this week via Seesaw. Further instructions on how to participate will be sent soon.

A reminder to read all ELC sZapp messages to stay up to date with the current changes to fees, attendance surveys and more recently a questionnaire regarding our Holiday Care program. Information regarding the upcoming Holiday program will be sent next week.

Thank you to all families for your ongoing support and we hope at this time you have opportunities to embrace the slower pace, spend time with your family, get into nature and find the God moments as we all navigate a changed ‘parental’ landscape. We miss you and hope you stay safe until we see you again. We wish all the Dads, Grandads and father figures a wonderful weekend!!

God bless.
