Listening is the foundation of our learning relationships. Teachers attentively listen to children’s thoughts and emotions - spoken and otherwise expressed - which breeds a confidence in them to explore their ideas, and allows them to be unafraid of making mistakes or of being themselves.
At ELC, we celebrate individuality and difference. We recognise that there is no universal childhood, and far from trying to dissolve or overcome difference, we aspire to a sense of unity in which difference is integrated.
At ELC, our teachers are our greatest resource, and recently the children had the opportunity to thank them during our ‘Wan Wai Khru’ - ’Teacher’s Appreciation Day’ celebration.
Across the school, our children have been showcasing their musical learning journeys this year. Through concert performance, the children are able to share their learning with their families and wider school community.
Year 5 Project
Inspired by the work of Gordon Hempton, an acoustic ecologist, the children engage in research about natural sounds and the impact of noise pollution. Eager to share their discoveries with the wider community, they develop a series of podcasts - The Sound Science Podcast.
