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

Our focus for the first week of term was to support the children in resuming their usual routine in our educational setting. This involved re-connecting with the classroom program and current interests and inquiries. 

It also involved re-connecting with peers and educators to re-establish these connections and relationships after the break. The children also needed to re-familiarise themselves with classroom routines and expectations as they adjusted to being back in this group learning environment. 

We have an exciting term of learning planned for the children, including an African Drumming experience, workshops with Indigenous educator, Emmy Webbers, Book Week, 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.
