Mother Earth Celebrated
All the ECC teachers and the parents too are very proud of the little stars who danced and sang in our Performing Arts Celebration of “Mother Earth.” It was an evening of creative sounds and vibrant colours.  It was a wonderful opportunity for children to display the many attitudes from the Learners’ Profile, particularly those of confidence, creativity, empathy, enthusiasm, commitment, respect and appreciation. Wow! That’s a lot of attitudes covered in one performance! Click here to view the wind, rain, water, sun, sky and earth photos.
