ELC’s Book Character Parade

We enjoyed a fantastic day on Friday celebrating ELC’s annual Book Character Parade and the Elephant Trunk Awards. The winning books the children voted for this year are, drum roll…

K1-2: How to Apologize, by David LaRochelle
Y1-3: Mixed-A Colorful Story, by Arree Chung
Y4-6: SumoKitty, by David Biedrzycki

Children and teachers alike dressed in their character costumes or were clues to their favourite books – can you spot, amongst others, ‘Stick Man,’ ‘Zita the Spacegirl’, and ‘Leif the Leaf?

Co-Constructing a Climate-Resilient Future: Putting Our Trust in the Children
On UN Earth Day this week, our Head of The City School, Dr. Lea, and our Y1-2 Project Coordinator, Ms. Sam, presented a webinar to the international educational and development community entitled ‘Co-Constructing a Climate-Resilient Future: Putting Our Trust in the Children’, with a participating audience of professionals from Bangladesh to Ethiopia, Nepal to the US. Hosted by the Asia-Pacific Regional Network for Early Childhood, and in collaboration with Save the Children, our educators showcased how ELC’s The City School is committed to empowering children to prepare for climate resilience and work for sustainable development, and how our Reggio Emilia approach to education cultivates those skills and character for our children to be world-changers.
