October 2025
Dear Eco Hub Families,
As the seasons begin to shift and autumn settles in, October brings with it a sense of rhythm and purpose in our learning community. The first weeks together have laid a foundation of connection, curiosity, and growth, and now we are diving deeper into meaningful learning experiences. From hands-on projects to outdoor explorations, collaborative adventures, and moments of self-discovery, our learners are finding their voice and building confidence day by day.

FALLing for poetry!Â
FALLing for poetry!Â
Last week, our Wordshop English Group A set off on an autumn hike to gather inspiration for our poetry sprint. Learners took part in a nature scavenger hunt, searching for signs that autumn had arrived — from colourful leaves and mushrooms to acorns and pine cones. Along the way, they tuned into their senses, noting the sights, sounds, textures, and scents of the season. They returned to the Hub with pockets full of natural treasures and minds full of ideas, ready to transform their experiences into autumn-inspired poetry.

As part of Explora’s big question, “Are we what we eat?”, the Adventurers explored family food traditions by discovering recipes connected to their cultures. A special thank-you to Yaya, Anna, Yvelisse, Piotr, Laura, and Eileen for generously sharing your recipes and stories with us!

Parent Coffee - special edition
Parent Coffee - special edition
Join us for our next Parent Coffee session on November 7th at 9:30am (in person). Together, we’ll explore how to avoid jumping to conclusions when your learner shares their version of a story.
In this interactive workshop, we will:
Practice strategies for active and empathetic listening
Learn how to explore multiple perspectives in a situation
Understand how to respond without assumptions
Support learners in reflecting thoughtfully on challenges or conflicts
This session will be especially helpful as we prepare for Colònies, where learners will navigate new social dynamics and independence—but the tools we’ll explore are valuable for every family.
We’ll wrap up with a Q&A to address any questions you may have about Colònies or supporting your learner at home.
Congratulations to Michelle!
Congratulations to Michelle!
We’re thrilled to share that Michelle is getting married! Please make sure to congratulate her when you see her — we’re all so excited for this special moment in her life. To celebrate her marriage, she will be away from November 21st to December 5th. During her absence, Emma will be stepping in as the Adventurers Lead to ensure continuity and keep programs running smoothly.
