our poet in residence

Georgia Heard, a well-known poet and educator, mentored our aspiring poets at ELC during ‘The Festival of Children’s Literature’. There were poetry readings, and installations where everyone was welcome to try their hand at reading, and/or writing poetry.

Reading is at the very heart of education, and the benefits of it to a young child cannot be overstated: it opens the door to academic success, imparts a love of learning, promotes maturity, increases discipline, influences morality, sparks curiosity – and satisfies it.

All children, parents and grandparents are invited to come together with us for this month-long celebration of the written word – and elves, wizards, goblins, fairies, and any other non-earthly creatures are also welcome. Whatever the medium, whether a sand drawing from Australia, a totem pole from Canada, a water puppet from Vietnam, or a shadow puppet from Thailand, everyone, everywhere, has a story to tell.

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.
