ELC Update – A Celebration of Learning

The children in the Early Learning Centre are looking forward to their end of year learning celebrations in the form of video presentations. Over recent weeks, the children have been reflecting on their year, recording audio and video, and collating photographs to include in their class videos. We will also digitally incorporate the work the children prepared for the St Catherine’s Art Exhibition. Each video presentation will be a collective celebration of the children’s learning in the ELC this year.

The learning celebration videos are currently in production. After some more fine-tuning, the children will be delighted to join their families to view the learning celebrations in the coming weeks! We know this promises to be a very special occasion not to be missed.

On the afternoon of your child’s online learning celebration, we encourage you to gather your family to view the celebration online together. This could also then be followed by a family dinner to celebrate and discuss your child’s year in the ELC.

A link to each classroom learning celebration will be emailed to families so you can access this event.
