The Power of Questioning

At ELC, we encourage children to question. The practice of thoughtful and considered questioning is a critical learning skill and enables children to explore their ideas, their underlying assumptions or beliefs, and serves as an inspiration to develop dialogue and debate with one another.

ELC Term 1 Farewell

In our final week of Term 1, we had a special guest stop by for a visit - Santa! He was met with excitement and curiosity from the children as they asked him questions about life at The North Pole.

Christmas Musical

Bringing our festive performances to a close this year, the Y3-6 children put on a fantastic Christmas Musical - ‘How to Train Your Reindeer’.

Father’s Day

Today at ELC, we commemorate the upcoming birthday anniversary on 5th December of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great, King Rama IX.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We are delighted to be able to offer our full range of Christmas festivities once again at ELC, which our whole family community can enjoy.

How do our Morning Meetings set a child up for social-emotional and academic success?

The Morning Meeting is a crucial daily ritual for the children that integrates and solidifies their social and academic learning and their sense of belonging; it is a 'foundation for every lesson, every transition time, every lining-up, every upset and conflict, all day and all year long.’ (Kriete, 2002).

Happy Loy Krathong!

Happy Loy Kratong! Our Y6 children gave a beautiful Thai musical performance with the drum and khim followed by our Y3 children who elegantly performed traditional Thai dances. K1 children began the finale, the Rum Won Loy dance and Loy Krathong song, with all the children joining in the celebrations. We wish all our ELC families a joyous Loy Krathong!
