Following on from last week’s Senior Kinder family morning, we had a special morning celebrating our Junior Kinder families on Thursday. The children excitedly explored the different activities; family portraits, decorating magnetic photo frames and beading necklaces, engaging together with their families. What a beautiful morning was had by all!

Celebrating Family Day in Kindergarten strengthens the bonds between home and Kinder, and nurtures a sense of community within the ELC. Our families are the heart of who we are. Families give children a deep sense of belonging and play such an important role in shaping their identity. The children love talking about their families every day, having their families visit and do activities in our room and proudly show their family members off . This week, we also spent time learning about the many different types of families, helping children understand that every family is special and unique in its own way
