Emily's Last Day At ELC

Emily has grown up so much this year. She has turned into a real little girl. For the first 2 terms of the year she went to The Early Learning Centre on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9am till 2.30pm. She really enjoyed it and made some good friends there with both the kids and her teachers. She loved Tuesdays because she got to do Music with the Music Teacher - Mrs Howden, which was lots of fun. And she also loved Wednesdays because it was Library Day where she would get to walk over to the big library and bring home a book. 

During term 3 we dropped her back to just one day a week. Mostly because I had stopped working and it was getting a big expensive, but also because her Pre Kinder Sessions at Mount Stuart Primary had started. They were only once a fortnight on a Wednesday Morning but we thought it was important for her to attend these so she could get to know the other kinder children who she will go to school with next year. 

It was nice to have her home more too because they grow up so fast and even though I feel a bit of time apart from Mum during the week is good for a child (and mum) I also think it's nice to spend as much time during these very few early years with them as you can - because once they start school - that's it!!

Emily had her last day at ELC on Tuesday 13th December. She had a really lovely day and brought home lots of special things. She said she really wanted to go back again tomorrow! She will miss her friends there and also the lovely teachers, but she is really lucky that one of her friends is heading off to Kindergarten with her next year! Jack and Emily have become really close friends during the last term and it's really nice knowing that they will have each other next year in class.

Only seems like yesterday that it was her First Day!
