Morning everyone, 

We have sunshine in the forecast! I hope we can finally have a normal week this week. There's not much from me apart from a few reminders. 


For this week

Tuesday: External audit - please note Jaz will likely be occupied by these visitors most of the day.

Thursday: PYP induction (Pt. 2) for new staff; 12noon in the Tiger class.  


Upcoming professional learning opportunities

  • Toddle TIES, 30 Sept -1 Oct, virtual. Speakers include Michael Rosen, Trevor MacKenzie, Tania Lattanzio, Tonya Gilchrist, and more.


Early Years Connect - September issue

This year, I’m happy to welcome colleagues across kindies to EY Connect :) If it can evolve into a platform where educators across different schools share resources and practices, how exciting that would be! This month, some of the thinking points include:

  • Simple questions to nudge thinking and extend conversations
  • Research on how children learn better when they “do science”, rather than “be scientists” 
  • Play invitations 
  • Mindful body scans (for both adults and kids!)

 Check out the September issue here.


Flu Shot

The flu season is approaching, and there's definitely a bug going around as I know a few of us are down with it already! ESF has arranged an on-site Flu Vaccination Program for all ESF full-time and part-time staff. The flu shot will take place on Friday, 6 Oct 2023 from 11:50 to 12:50 in the G/F office. If you are interested, please register online via the HR newsletter.
