Campbell House was buzzing with excitement this week as the children welcomed their special guests for our ELC Father’s Day celebrations. 

These occasions are always a wonderful opportunity for the children and their guests to spend very special time together. 

Each class hosted a special celebration where the children and guests enjoyed spending time together in our ELC. They spent time engaging in special projects, enjoying stories, singing, and sharing their learning journals.  

Much planning had gone into the event as the children discussed their ideas, prepared beautiful invitations, planned activities, and rehearsed songs. Special gifts had been lovingly prepared by the children. 

It is always wonderful to see and hear the delight from the children as they share this time with their dads, grandads and significant father figures. 

Below, the children share their thoughts about what they love about their dads. 

“I love Daddy because he picks me up and throws me in the air so I fly with my wings on. Dad catches me.” Valee 

“I love my Dad’s cuddles. He plays games with me – we play Chess together.” Rob 

“My Dad cooks for me and orders food for me. He is so funny and sometimes plays tricks on me. I do too and I make him laugh.” Sophia 

“My Dad is special because he gives me nice warm cuddles.” Aurelia 

“My Dad likes playing live football with me at the oval on Glenferrie Road. He has bigger legs than me so he can kick enormous torpedos with the footy.” Edward 

“My Dad works so he can get more money to buy a dog.” Maddy 

“I love Daddy because he plays silly games, tickles me, and makes me laugh. I love him!” Mackenzie 

“I love my Daddy because we play blocks together. He reads me books at bedtime. I love him so much!” Olivia
