Dear Parents,
Nativity (or Tibity, as some children call it!) is now only days away. We would like to thank all the parents and staff who have supported the children in their huge undertaking and just take a moment to list a few reminders that will help the day run smoothly.
Children who do not normally attend on Thursday must be at the ELC at 10.00am to change into their costume and prepare (not before or after 10.00am please)
Children coming in at 10.00am must be signed in in their classroom sign in books. Sign in books will be available afterwards in the Anzac Hall for parents who would like to collect their child directly after the event to sign out. You are welcome to take your child early if you would like to take them for a celebratory lunch with family.(Please inform their teacher and sign them out)There will be a brief period for taking photos in the Piper Pavilion after the event. However, rest assured professional photographs will be available. There will not be an opportunity for children to be photographed by parents in the centre before the Nativity.
We are so looking forward to performing for you and look forward to seeing you there.
The Children and staff of the ELC

In the Classrooms Last Week
Langley
Mead
We have had a busy week in the Mead Room. Since the children are getting so good at signing themselves in and out each day we have had fun writing our names on the light table using shaving foam! It has been fun using our finger as our pencil and exploring this sensory challenge.
Our focus for story books has turned from 'The Little Gingerbread Man' to 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'. Supporting this interest we have porridge, beds and chairs in our home corners which are being used by the children with alot of entertaining dialogue.
We have also been practicing our Nativity songs and the children are doing an amazing job learning the words. Please make sure Thursday the 18th is booked in your diaries to come along and watch the performance.
Best wishes,
Emma, Emma and Susan
Cooper
At Morning Meeting on Wednesday we read the story of Elmer, the colourful patchwork elephant. The children enjoyed this story so much that some of them chose to create their own Elmers with paint and collage at the easel. They painted elephant bodies, legs, tails and long trunks and stuck on lots of bright coloured collage pieces then retold the story in their own words…
“An Elmo, he got a big tummy, he got spots, them there” said Daisy pointing, “and stripes.”
“Elmer changed the colours. He used the rain to do it. Not grey – green, blue, red, purple. Really, really colourful!” Jasmine told us.
“The other elephants put spots on him. The storm comes and washed it” said Erin.
We have been practising for our Nativity every day and it has been great to hear all the children reciting their line so well (thank you for your help at home!). If you have not done so already, please remember to send in your child’s named black top and bottoms ready for the dress rehearsal on Wednesday.
Kind regards,
Ali and Susan
Chapple
We had 22 big boys and 1 very grown up schoolgirl from Chapple Room who ventured up to the Prep School to visit and use the big toilets, play in the Reception playground and meet the Reception teachers! We LOVED it! It was a really positive experience and we look forward to the coming weeks where we will get used to our future surroundings even more.
Our Monday Number Treasure Hunt was a real highlight! We very excitedly set off from the ELC and made our way up to Bunnings. Along the way we saw hundreds of numbers.
“I thought it was a little bit boring before we started but then it got really exciting!” Regan exclaimed.
“Saw number 2. It was fun. Saw number 21,” told Zac.
“It was exciting because we found a lot of numbers. We found the 1 a lot more than zero,” Katie perceptively explained.
“I liked it. I was hunting down the numbers,” Kalan said as he pretended to use a detective’s magnifying glass.
“It was good because daddy and Kalan found lots of numbers,” Connor was proud to say.
Back in class we counted up all the numbers and made a giant graph of how many of each number we saw! We saw the number 1, nineteen times! Thank you to Cheryl, Adam, Darryl and Marnie for accompanying us on this wonderful trip!
“It shows we found 5, 5 times. And 9, 9 times. That’s funny!” Olin shared.
Sebastian drew the fact, “We saw number 1, 19 times.”
“The 2nd winner was number 4,” piped in Max.
“And the 3rd was 0,” Tyler joined in on the conversation.
“I can see that 6 has the not maniest,” Philippe was quick to tell.
Kyle said, “Also 7, because 6 has got 1, 2, 3, 4. And 7 has got 1, 2, 3, 4.”
We’ve also found that we have 23 young authors in our class – it’s the Chapple students! We’ve been very busy illustrating our own books and telling our stories to the teachers while they write the words. Please come in and read our stories – they are quite special and it’s surprising at how original they are!

Carols by the Tree
Dear Parents,
Our ELC students were lucky enough to watch the arrival of our Princes Christmas tree on the back of a truck on Monday. They watched with baited breath as the groundsmen used a forklift to raise the tree and add the shiny star.
We would like to invite you to join us for the annual Princes Christmas Tree lighting on the Main Oval this Friday the 19th. Come and join us for carols with the community. The evening will begin with a Nativity performance from the Junior Primary students at 6.00pm. We will take a brief pause for dinner and conversation and then music will began at 6.40 followed by the lighting of the tree at. Bring a rug, picnic basket, the whole family and a singing voice!
We look forward to seeing you there

Holiday Plans
As holidays are fast approaching us, a mere three and a bit weeks away, we would ask all parents to please advise if your child will not be attending the ELC during the December and January holidays. This will help with both staffing and catering needs.
Thank you

Yalla Lebanese Festival
Dear friends,
You won’t need to travel far this summer to experience the exotic Middle East. On Sunday December 5th , Rundle Park will come alive with the sights, the smells and the sounds of the annual Yalla Lebanese Festival.
Yalla means “c’mon, let’s go!” in Arabic, but this December, Yalla will mean a day of eating, dancing and experiencing the famous Lebanese hospitality and lively culture.
Yalla will feature all-day entertainment including singers, drummers, DJs, belly dancers and traditional dancers. Yalla is an interactive cultural festival so there’ll be opportunities for patrons to learn from the professionals and participate in the singing, dancing and cooking!
Yalla is a free-entry family friendly event so there’ll be loads of entertainment and activities for the kids including camel rides, bouncy castle, Arabic arts & crafts and music lessons.
This year, Yalla is honoured to be supporting Novita Children’s Services, who provide services to children with brain injuries and serious physical disabilities.
Venue: Rundle Park, City (location of Fringe's "Garden of Unearthly Delights")

The Song Inside All Of Us
Dear Parents,
Mrs Erna Berberyan, our music teacher, has asked children to bring to school and share a significant song from home that they may sing before they go to bed or at another time of the day. If you have a song that you like to often sing with your child please feel free to pass a copy of the words to your child's teacher for use in music classes. Alternatively you may e-mail them directly to me at mbishop@pac.edu.au
Thankyou
Mel Bishop on behalf of Mrs B

In the Classrooms
Langley
The giant gum tree in the big yard is shedding its bark, much to the Langley children’s amazement! They keenly collected it off the ground and carefully placed it in the basket.
“It’s a big one!” commented Oliver L as he placed his bark in the basket.
“There’s bark!” cried Henry excitedly.
We decided to do some drawings on the bark with black marker. Here are some of our creative bark stories.
“Dinosaur, its dinosaur, look a frog, its eating dinosaur” said Dillon.
“A playground, there was a swippy swide (slippery slide)” Jack J told us.
Ryan’s story was about his Daddy, “dat my Daddy, he got long hair and he got no eyes!”
“It’s a picture of a caterpillar” said Tommi.
I wonder why the bark is falling off of the tree…stay tuned to find out what the children think.
Kind regards,Jess, Adele, Kerry and Jennifer

Mead
The Gingerbread man theme has continued in the Mead Room this week with more bakers baking in the kitchen, more role play and the production of a class book. We have finger puppets, hand puppets and a life size Gingerbread Man suit all being put to good use! We have also been learning a lot about books and the various parts of books. The children have learnt about authors and illustrators and have stepped into the shoes of these roles with much eagerness. Our investigation into books was further encouraged on Wednesday with a visit to our local Norwood Library for a story telling session.
Best wishes,

As we continued to look at and wonder about the Eastern Rosellas that visit the ELC, we decided to create our own birds with clay and bright collage materials. Some of the children selected bright feathers, pop sticks and pipe cleaners from the Art Room and set them out at the clay table. The children looked at photos of the birds and thought about how they looked and how they could model them in three dimensions. We started by making body shapes with our hands. The children added pop sticks for legs and wings, tooth picks for beaks, buttons for eyes and picked up the birds and flew them around the table. Austin even rolled tiny worms in his hands and stuck them on his bird's beak. The children discussed how their birds should look as they worked...
"Making the eyes – that’s the eyes. Two wings. One [feather] on the back. All done!" said Rylan.
"Two wings. I’m making it like this. Look, I made a birdy… ta-da! Ooh, eyes. Here’s his little eyes. He needs a beak" thought Ajeet.
"I’m doing he’s beak first, I’m doing his face. Look how I can do faces. And his little toes now. I’m gonna chop this off ‘cause it’s too long. This is the boat, the bird sits on the boat. One has one leg, the other has one leg, a pirate cut it off. Up here is the flag and up here is the bird’s wings. This is going to be a magpie" Lucy told us.
The birds were beautiful, bright and feathery and you can see them displayed in our room.

Chapple
What an enormous week we’ve had in Chapple! On Wednesday we joined with Edgerley Room to host the prep School Assembly in the brand new ANZAC Hall. We were wonderful and the big boys were very impressed with our story telling abilities! We shared with them the story of Goldilocks through puppets, singing, acting and telling. Lloyd even spoke in French, because you can tell stories in other languages too!
Jude Searles came to share a story about the farm with us on Friday. She was wonderful with loads of props to help us remember the story – she even had eggs from her farm! Thanks Jude! We had a wonderful time visiting the Norwood Library too – there were thousands of books there!
On Thursday afternoon we went on a number hunt around PAC, in search of… numbers! We found so many along the way and we talked about why they were there and how they help us to understand important things.
“They look kind of like letters, but they’re actually numbers,” Sebastian told us.
Olin explained to us about the numbers in the Drop Off area, “…to say how long you can park there when you’re dropping off your child.”
Meanwhile, harry was fascinated with the number plates on the cars and explained, “You’re not allowed to have the same numbers cause they’re special numbers.”
Lloyd said, “That measure how many gases in here. There is a 1 and a 0, 6, 3, 5, 8,” as he look at the big machine to measure gas.
Kind regards,
Kate and Eleanor

Wow! What a full week we had this week! We absolutely loved our trip to the Norwood Library where we found lots of different books from the ones we see at our Princes library. We talked about all the people who might borrow from the Library; someone suggested that even a policeman could borrow a book if he wanted to. You may like to follow up this trip with a visit to your local Library this weekend.
We also presented an assembly about the different types of storytelling with the Chapple children. We performed in front of all the students from Reception to Year Six! Everybody clapped when we were finished, we must have done a good job!
We continued to author our own books this week and particularly enjoyed creating roads in the building corner; they looked a little bit like 2D maps! I wonder where our roads will take us?
Kind regards

NATIVITY REMINDERS
Costumes
In your child's pigeon hole you will now find a red slip outlining your child's role and their costume requirements. Please bring in these labelled items to your child's teacher as soon as possible. Where we have asked for shorts, leggings, tracksuit bottoms, trousers will also be fine.
If possible it would be great if you could send you child to school in sandals on the day of the Nativity and dress rehearsal.
Parking
Additional parking will be available on the back oval from 10.30am. Please ensure you are seated in Anzac Hall by 11am. We anticipate the performance will go for approximately 45 minutes to an hour.
Signing In
Please note that on the day of the Nativity, regardless of whether your child attends on a Thursday, they will need to be signed in and out. This means that when you drop your child at the ELC at 10am, you will need to sign them in, even if the box is shaded. This is very important as it is a licensing requirement that all children in our care are signed in. Sign in sheets will then be available at the end of the performance for you to be able to sign children out again.
Thankyou

Terracotta Pots

Dear Families,
The Langley children are keenly interested in planting and growing at the moment and have started to create a potted garden in the Langley yard. If you have any spare terracotta pots that you are no longer using or garden cuttings that we can plant, the Langley children would love to give them a new home in our garden. Please forward any donations to Julie Porter so that she can pass them on to us.
Thanks
Jess Catt

Library Excursion

We had a lovely time visiting the Norwood Library on Wednesday and very much enjoyed having it all to ourselves, as it was open just for us! It was also great to have some of our Langley friends and Miss Jess come along on this excursion. Thank you to all our parent helpers and those families who made gold coin donations. Debi the librarian tells us she will purchase some children's books for the library with this money.
