Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Welcome back to all in the Reddam House ELS family. We trust that you had a really happy and relaxing break and that this year is going to be wonderful in every way. The staff and I are excited for all that the year holds in store for the school – and in particular for the boys and girls who fill its classrooms, corridors and play areas with such joy. We extend a very special welcome to all the families who join us for the first time. We really do hope that the warmth of the welcome from the broader ELS community will ensure that you feel part of our very special family in no time at all. We trust that this will be a happy time for you and for your son or daughter, and that you will use every opportunity to become involved in the life of the school. During the course of the year there are a number of celebratory events and occasions during which the children are able to show you what they have learned. We would love
to see you at the school, as the children take great pride in being able to ‘host’ you in their space and show off all that they have achieved. A number of children have already been enjoying a multitude of enriching activities, before the rest of the children arrived this week, as they were fortunate to be part of the Holiday Care programme. Once again, the teachers came up with some creative and enjoyable activities for the children to enjoy, and by all accounts they had a fantastic time immersing themselves fully in these. My thanks to all those involved in the Holiday Care programme, for making such a powerful impact in the lives of the children and for providing such a fun-filled experience for the children. Here in the ELS, we have embraced the Reggio Emilia approach to early learning, as it provides a wonderful opportunity for the children to explore, create and learn, based on where their interests take them.
