Songkran in Bloom

ELC celebrated Songkran this week amidst bursts of colour and fragrance from the flowers and scented waters of Thailand for our theme ‘Songkran In Bloom’. The children learnt about the importance of Thai New Year as an embrace of new beginnings and goodwill and had the opportunity to participate in offering alms to monks. We enjoyed traditional Thai activities such as threading flower garlands and making flags for sand chedis, and the children also participated in the traditional custom of paying respects to their teachers and other school staff.

We wish all our ELC families and community a joyous and restful Songkran.

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.
