Langley

Dear Langley families,

Our new friends are continuing to gain confidence in their ELC environment and are beginning to form relationships with educators and their peers. We have enjoyed sharing songs during our morning meeting and it has been lovely to see the children recalling words and actions. 

This week we have enjoyed various sensory experiences both in and outdoors. Sponges and funnels and bubbly water proved very popular with many children as they used their motor skills to squeeze and pour.

We continue to use natural materials to inspire our learning. This week we’ve used bark as a new surface to paint on and several children have enjoyed creating observational plant drawings.

This week our Chinese teacher Wenting introduced the children to some words and traditional items associated with Chinese New Year. The children loved volunteering to dress up in traditional Chinese clothing worn at this time of year. This activity heightened their cultural awareness and sense of occasion.

Thanks to those families who have sent in a family photo. These prove a great comfort when children are having difficulty settling.

We hope those who have signed up for Seesaw are enjoying getting a glimpse into their child’s day and receiving general information about the ELC including our weekly menu. If you have not already done so please return your Seesaw consent form and sign up to receive updates as soon as possible.


Have a lovely weekend, 

Miss Olly, Miss Nicole, Miss Chelsea and Miss Georgia
