EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTRE We are moving towards the end of another school year, where we are very pleased to look back at a year in the ECC filled with learning and play that has supported our students greatly in their development, in addition to contributing to a positive childhood experience, here and now. We also appreciate our parents’ contributions through active communication and engagement in both everyday learning and play activities, in addition to events and celebrations throughout the year. An important focus in the ECC this year has been to develop our physical learning and play environment further, where we talk about The third teacher. This to ensure that our students have voice, choice and ownership of their learning and play, within the framework of our curricula - the PYP (IB) and the Norwegian Framework plan. With covid numbers going down and society slowly opening up again, we have been able to expand our learning and play environment to School library: is freequently visited. include inspiring learning environments in a variety of contexts, such as the Aquarium in Nordnes, VilVite and Kode. We were able to take all our students to visit the Aquarium in April. This turned out to be a great learning experience and a lovely day out for everyone. Throughout this school year the numbers in the ECC have increased significantly. We started off this school year with 37 students and are now counting 49.
ECC in our hearts: Staff, interns and students all together on the playground.
