ELC Summer programme 2025

Summer Festival of the Arts 2025  |  Y2 ~ Y6 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 ~ 4 July)

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

Session 1: 3D Design and Printing
Technology has opened up a world of opportunities for children to be creative and innovative. With access to a wealth of information and resources on their hands, children can experiment, explore, and bring their ideas to life. Children will follow the engineering design process in order to imagine, plan, create, test, and improve a 3D prototype that has a real-world application. Children will learn the fundamentals of designing on the TinkerCAD platform including manipulating dimensions, rotating, and transforming objects in space. Through this exploration, children will also develop an understanding of how 3D printers work, why, and how they are used.
Session 1: Robotics
Join us and be part of an exciting excursion into the world of Robotics, real and imaginary. Children will become immersed in the exploration of designing, building, and coding robots with LEGO EV3 and Sphero SPRK. Together, they will design and construct simple robots to complete specific tasks and overcome obstacles and challenges. Skills such as planning, creative and instructional writing will be supported and enhanced during the creation of their robots and obstacle courses. We will also develop our communication, teamwork, and leadership skills in these sessions.
Session 1: Broadway Extravaganza
Step into the limelight and uncover the exhilarating world of stage performance as a triple threat! From captivating acting to melodious singing and dazzling dance moves, your child will embark on a journey filled with boundless energy and creativity. Throughout the program, they'll immerse themselves in crafting a vibrant medley of musical numbers, culminating in a spectacular end-of-week performance which will be recorded and shared via email. Our focus goes beyond the stage, fostering a nurturing environment where fun, friendship, and teamwork flourish, empowering each child to embrace their self-confidence, self-esteem, and belief in themselves.
Session 1: Wide World Of Sports
Join us for an interdisciplinary adventure into the world of sports! The children will practice a range of athletic skills throughout fun games and activities. We will rotate through sports such as soccer, basketball, volleyball, chairball, foursquare, dodgeball, ultimate frisbee and field hockey. This session is about having fun, increasing movement skills and promoting sportsmanship and physical health.
Session 1: Author Experiences
Welcome to a week-long exploration of storytelling, where children step into the role of authors. Through the creation of pop-up books and sensory picture books they will engage in a rich process: planning, drafting, revising, and refining their narratives. Inspired by the works of published authors, they will cultivate their own unique imaginative voices, resulting in tangible books to share and celebrate with their community.
Session 1: World Building (week 2 only)
Children will explore elements of storytelling, world-building, and artistic expression through the creation of thoughtful and environmentally conscious dioramas. They will have the opportunity to sculpt, paint, draw, and print while developing their own ideas and 3-dimensional creations from natural and recycled materials. They will engage with artists' work while developing skills such as engaging and persisting, observing, stretching, exploring, and expressing of self.
Session 2: Robotics
Join us and be part of an exciting excursion into the world of Robotics, real and imaginary. Children will become immersed in the exploration of designing, building, and coding robots with LEGO EV3 and Sphero SPRK. Together, they will design and construct simple robots to complete specific tasks and overcome challenges. Skills such as planning and instructional writing will be supported and enhanced during the creation of a manual that goes along with the robot.
Session 2: World Building
Children will explore elements of storytelling, world-building, and artistic expression through the creation of thoughtful and environmentally conscious dioramas. They will have the opportunity to sculpt, paint, draw, and print while developing their own ideas and 3-dimensional creations from natural and recycled materials. They will engage with artists' work while developing skills such as engaging and persisting, observing, stretching, exploring, and expressing of self.
Session 2: Visual Art Adventures
Dive into the dazzling world of visual arts! Each day is a brand-new adventure as children embark on exciting artistic journeys, exploring a treasure trove of vibrant mediums and drawing inspiration from the masters of the craft. From bold acrylics to dreamy watercolours and magical pastels, there's no limit to the creative possibilities on their canvas! With hands-on activities and guidance, our adventures spark imaginations and cultivate budding artistic talents. Along the way, they'll uncover the secrets of colour theory, explore the art of composition, and unleash their unique style, crafting pieces every single day. Get ready to paint, create, and let your imagination soar this summer!

Session 2: Game Design Coding
Through creating their own games, the children will learn essential skills such as logical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and digital literacy. Introducing them to coding concepts through the creative process of game development, the children will learn foundational programming skills such as sequencing, loops, conditionals, and problem-solving while designing and building their own interactive games. The program encourages logical thinking, creativity, and perseverance as children plan game ideas, test their code, and improve their designs through guided feedback. Lessons are age-appropriate and scaffolded to support different learning levels, ensuring beginners feel confident while more experienced children are challenged. By combining technology, creativity, and critical thinking, this program helps children develop essential digital skills and a strong foundation for future learning in coding and computational thinking.

Session 2: Stories from the Sky (Drone)
Capture & Create with the new DJI Neo Drone. Take to the skies in this exciting, hands-on workshop where children become drone pilots and digital storytellers! Using the new DJI Neo, students will learn to fly with both controllers and palm/voice commands, while exploring safe and responsible drone practices. They’ll capture and edit original aerial footage using DJI’s LightCut app and AI tools, turning their recordings into creative, personalized videos. Along the way, children will build coordination, confidence, and digital skills through fun drone games and challenges. Each child will leave with a unique video creation, showcasing their progress and perspectives from above.

Session 2: Graphic Design (tentative)
Through exploring the world of visual communication, the children will learn essential skills such as creativity, critical thinking, and design literacy. Introducing them to the core concepts of graphic design through hands-on making, the children will investigate how visual communication is used to convey meaning in our world and discover its many real-world applications, including branding, advertising, wayfinding, and data visualization. They will explore color theory, composition, fonts, layout, and visual storytelling using both analog materials—such as pencil, ink, paper, and collage—and digital tools. By integrating technology, children will be able to animate their own creations.

Through the design process, the children will learn to brainstorm and sketch their ideas, iterate on concepts, refine their work through feedback, and execute polished final designs. The program encourages curiosity, reflective thinking, and perseverance as children develop their visual ideas and gain confidence in expressing themselves through design.
