It has been wonderful to observe the sights and sounds of happy chatter and smiling faces filling our Early Learning Centre this week as the children returned from the holiday break. The children were certainly eager to reconnect with their peers and our program.  

Our focus as educators for this first week of term has been to support the children to resume their usual routine in the educational setting. This involves reconnecting with the classroom program and current interests and inquiries. It also involves reconnecting with peers and educators to re-establish these connections and relationships after the break. The children also need to familiarise themselves again with classroom routines and expectations as they adjust to being back in the group learning environment. 

We have an exciting term of learning planned for the children, including workshops with First Nations Artist Merindah-Gunya, a Butterfly Adventures incursion, Book Week activities and celebrations for Father’s Day. There are many interesting inquiries happening in each classroom and many more will evolve as the children’s natural wonderings lead to further discussion and learning.  

We look forward to an exciting term of learning and discovery in Campbell House.
