ELC Summer programme 2025

Summer Festival of the Arts 2025  |  K1 Programme

Explore, create, and innovate at our Summer Festival of the Arts — an immersive experience designed to spark curiosity and creativity. Rooted in the Reggio Emilia approach, children engage in dynamic, hands-on workshops each morning and afternoon, blending science, storytelling, design, and the arts to inspire joyful, meaningful learning through play and discovery.

Through these focused workshops, your child will develop cognitive, language, physical, and social skills while exploring their own interests and imagination — all within our beautiful, nature-rich campus environment.

Session 1: (23 June ~ 27 June)  &  (30 June 30 ~ 4 July)  &  (7 July ~ 11 July)

Session 2: (29 July ~ 1 August)  &  (4 August ~ 8 August)  &  (11 August ~ 15 August)

Week 1: Creative Expression
Come with us on a colorful journey of self-expression and discovery through process-based art experiences. With creativity as their compass, we will explore the boundless possibilities of the Hundred Languages - including paint, clay, and other tactile mediums. Through these experiences, the children will not only artistically express themselves, but also nurture their curiosity, resilience, and sense of wonder, laying the foundation for artistic appreciation and a love of the process of creation.
Week 2: Movement
Delve into the fundamental element of our earliest interactions with the world - movement. Get ready to unleash the power of physical awareness through the exploration of movement in our bodies and in objects. With every twirl, jump, mould, paint stroke, and construction, children uncover the magic of movement as a powerful tool for self-expression and gain a deeper understanding of the world around them. Join us on this adventure of discovery and growth!
Week 3: Elements of Light & Shadow
Light is a magical phenomenon, a powerful source of transformation that affects the way we perceive the world around us. It is an energy in which young children find fascinating! Exploring various light sources both natural and artificial along with a variety of spaces and materials, help children to learn about the relationships between them. The light becomes an effective tool for exploration, as a light beam travels across a room, touching upon some surfaces, lingering on others, passing through or being blocked by an object creating shadows or illuminating dark corners, these observations inspire children to create their own hypotheses about the nature, origin and properties of light.

Week 6: Structural Landscapes
Our beautiful garden with its network of bamboo tree houses inspires curiosity and wonder where children encounter intricate flowers, plants, insects and more! Through these rich experiences children continually organise and co-construct knowledge through their play, making meaning of their world. They begin to categorise their discoveries, recognising shapes, forms and patterns, they create structured games amongst themselves and map out the garden spaces. Structures are all around us, whether manmade or natural, social or organizational, even our own DNA is organised into a distinct structure. Structures are made up of various elements which are organised and related, for example a pattern has a structure. Young children encounter, investigate and create their own structures leading to opportunities for mathematical and spatial reasoning along with developing social/emotional skills and understanding. The diverse array of colours, lines, shapes, growth patterns, and fractal formations found in nature nurture each child’s burgeoning comprehension. Patterns, in particular, aid children in structuring thoughts and establishing a sense of order in their lives. They pave the way for the development of mathematical vocabulary and cognitive concepts. As children begin to discern patterns in nature and existence, they bring a profound sense of harmony to their inner worlds.
