🎙️ 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 – 𝐄𝐒𝐅 𝐏𝐨𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 🎙️

Last year, ESF launched 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 — a video podcast series where leaders explore and discuss the future of education. You can find House Captains on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and on the ESF YouTube channel.

We’re proud to share that 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞’𝐬 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐏𝐘𝐏 Coordinator, 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐘𝐮𝐞𝐧, features in the latest episode. 💛

From the question, “𝘞𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘧𝘺 𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺?” to exploring what truly works in early years education, Brenda shares thoughtful insights on:

* The power of play‑based learning
* The importance of strong, trusting relationships
* Developing self‑regulation and social‑emotional skills

In a profession that never stands still, Brenda reflects on the shared values and trusting culture that allow both children and staff to thrive.

We’re incredibly proud to see Hillside’s voice contributing to important conversations across the ESF community.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the @esfbradburyschool Lion Dance team for their wonderful performance for the Hillside children.

The children were completely engaged and delighted by the experience. It was a joyful and meaningful opportunity for them to connect with this festive tradition in a warm, child‑friendly environment.
It was also a pleasure to have our ESF Chinese Advisor join us for the traditional “eye‑dotting” ceremony— an important part of the lion dance that symbolises awakening the lion and bringing good fortune.

We also took time to teach the children a few festive greetings for the Year of the Horse, helping them connect language, culture, and celebration in a meaningful and age‑appropriate way.

Moments like these help bring learning to life and strengthen the special connection we share with our Bradbury community. Thank you for making it such a memorable experience for our young learners. 💛

We welcomed @curiositykidshk to Hillside for an exciting incursion that will serve as a provocation for our upcoming unit, “𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬.”

Our central idea focuses on 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲, and this hands‑on experience was designed to spark curiosity and wonder. The session introduced the children to a range of early science concepts while nurturing their thinking, questioning, and research skills.

The children took part in a mini “science lab” at school, where they explored colour science and investigated fizzy potions — learning through experimentation, observation, and play.

This joyful provocation sets the stage for deeper inquiry as we begin our new unit, and we’re excited to see where the children’s questions and discoveries will lead next. 💛

✨🔍 𝐊𝟐 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐫𝐬! 🔍✨

Our K2s had an exciting day at the science museum with their grown ups! Together, they embarked on a scavenger hunt to look for various materials and machines—connecting their real-world observations to our unit 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴. 🌍Children also drew what they found exciting and interesting - the dinosaur exhibits and The Energy Machine were a highlight! 
One learner described The Energy Machine: “The balls moved from top to down. There’s a lift to lift it up and the balls go all the way down. The ball roll roll roll! And it stopped here.”
We love seeing our young scientists apply their skills beyond the classroom—learning truly happens everywhere! 💫

👀 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 👀

Today, we partnered with 𝐢‑𝐒𝐄𝐄 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 to carry out essential vision screenings for our children at school. These checks are an important part of supporting each child’s wellbeing and learning.

Early identification of vision needs helps us provide the right support in the classroom. For example, if a child has colour vision differences, we can adjust colour‑based activities. If a child needs to sit closer during story time or learning activities, we can make those simple changes early.

The screenings were carried out in a calm, child‑friendly way, and the children did an amazing job throughout. 👏

Thank you to @i_see.hk for their professional support, and to our families for working with us to ensure every child is set up for success. 💛

🎵 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞 & 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 🎵

We’re starting the new year with rhythm, movement, and joyful learning!

At Hillside, our focus on 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟‑𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 continues — helping children tune in to their bodies, manage energy levels, and express emotions through music and movement.

This January, we invite families to join our 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞 & 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 at home! 💫

Try a few fun, simple ideas together:
🎶 Clap or march to a steady beat — can you keep the rhythm for a minute? Beat synchronisation helps regulation.
🌿 Take a “movement break” to reset — stretch, sway, or dance slowly to calming music.
🥁 Freeze Dance - can you control staring and stoping during the dance? Practicing start and stop actions helps improve inhibition and impulse control.
🎵 Listen carefully: is the music fast or slow, loud or quiet? How does it make you feel? Connecting with our feelings.

Through these playful activities, children learn to notice their bodies, express emotions, and develop the focus and calm needed for learning.

Let’s begin 2026 by 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐡𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐦 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 — one joyful beat at a time! 💛

K2s at The Shed

✨ What’s the most dangerous thing in The Shed? Bradbury School’s Educational Technologies Coach had the perfect answer: “The children!” 🫣 Starting with this question helps build safety awareness while encouraging our little learners to be principled, brave risk-takers.

The Shed makerspace was a wonderful provocation for our K2s in their unit, How the World Works, with the big idea “Discovery helps us learn about the world and create new possibilities.”
Through play and exploration, children show us their thinking in wonderfully organic ways. Discovery isn’t always linear—it’s playful, messy, and full of possibilities! 💡

✨🔍 𝐊𝟐 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐫𝐬! 🔍✨

Our K2s had an exciting day at the science museum with their grown ups! Together, they embarked on a scavenger hunt to look for various materials and machines—connecting their real-world observations to our unit 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴. 🌍Children also drew what they found exciting and interesting - the dinosaur exhibits and The Energy Machine were a highlight! 
One learner described The Energy Machine: “The balls moved from top to down. There’s a lift to lift it up and the balls go all the way down. The ball roll roll roll! And it stopped here.”
We love seeing our young scientists apply their skills beyond the classroom—learning truly happens everywhere! 💫

👀 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 👀

Today, we partnered with 𝐢‑𝐒𝐄𝐄 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 to carry out essential vision screenings for our children at school. These checks are an important part of supporting each child’s wellbeing and learning.

Early identification of vision needs helps us provide the right support in the classroom. For example, if a child has colour vision differences, we can adjust colour‑based activities. If a child needs to sit closer during story time or learning activities, we can make those simple changes early.

The screenings were carried out in a calm, child‑friendly way, and the children did an amazing job throughout. 👏

Thank you to @i_see.hk for their professional support, and to our families for working with us to ensure every child is set up for success. 💛

🎵 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞 & 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 🎵

We’re starting the new year with rhythm, movement, and joyful learning!

At Hillside, our focus on 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟‑𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 continues — helping children tune in to their bodies, manage energy levels, and express emotions through music and movement.

This January, we invite families to join our 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞 & 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 at home! 💫

Try a few fun, simple ideas together:
🎶 Clap or march to a steady beat — can you keep the rhythm for a minute? Beat synchronisation helps regulation.
🌿 Take a “movement break” to reset — stretch, sway, or dance slowly to calming music.
🥁 Freeze Dance - can you control staring and stoping during the dance? Practicing start and stop actions helps improve inhibition and impulse control.
🎵 Listen carefully: is the music fast or slow, loud or quiet? How does it make you feel? Connecting with our feelings.

Through these playful activities, children learn to notice their bodies, express emotions, and develop the focus and calm needed for learning.

Let’s begin 2026 by 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐡𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐦 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 — one joyful beat at a time! 💛

K2s at The Shed

✨ What’s the most dangerous thing in The Shed? Bradbury School’s Educational Technologies Coach had the perfect answer: “The children!” 🫣 Starting with this question helps build safety awareness while encouraging our little learners to be principled, brave risk-takers.

The Shed makerspace was a wonderful provocation for our K2s in their unit, How the World Works, with the big idea “Discovery helps us learn about the world and create new possibilities.”
Through play and exploration, children show us their thinking in wonderfully organic ways. Discovery isn’t always linear—it’s playful, messy, and full of possibilities! 💡

🎙️ 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 – 𝐄𝐒𝐅 𝐏𝐨𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 🎙️

Last year, ESF launched 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 — a video podcast series where leaders explore and discuss the future of education. You can find House Captains on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and on the ESF YouTube channel.

We’re proud to share that 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞’𝐬 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐏𝐘𝐏 Coordinator, 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐘𝐮𝐞𝐧, features in the latest episode. 💛

From the question, “𝘞𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘧𝘺 𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺?” to exploring what truly works in early years education, Brenda shares thoughtful insights on:

* The power of play‑based learning
* The importance of strong, trusting relationships
* Developing self‑regulation and social‑emotional skills

In a profession that never stands still, Brenda reflects on the shared values and trusting culture that allow both children and staff to thrive.

We’re incredibly proud to see Hillside’s voice contributing to important conversations across the ESF community.

Today, 𝟐𝟎 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 took part in a performance at the 𝐄𝐒𝐅 𝐋𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐫 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐚. We were the youngest group among performers from primary and secondary schools — and we could not be more proud of our children!

They showed such confidence, enthusiasm, and teamwork on stage. It was a wonderful opportunity for them to be part of a larger ESF community celebration and to experience the joy of performing. 💛

As we celebrate together, we would like to wish all our families a very happy and prosperous 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞.

We had a fantastic day at our Family Sports Fun Day! It was wonderful to see so many families taking time out to join us and enjoy the activities together. The atmosphere was full of energy, laughter, and teamwork — and most importantly, lots of fun!

A huge thank you to our 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐟𝐟 for the care, planning and energy that went into organising such a successful event. A special shout‑out as well to the 𝐄𝐒𝐅 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 @esf.explore, who joined us and supported the activities throughout the day.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the @esfbradburyschool Lion Dance team for their wonderful performance for the Hillside children.

The children were completely engaged and delighted by the experience. It was a joyful and meaningful opportunity for them to connect with this festive tradition in a warm, child‑friendly environment.
It was also a pleasure to have our ESF Chinese Advisor join us for the traditional “eye‑dotting” ceremony— an important part of the lion dance that symbolises awakening the lion and bringing good fortune.

We also took time to teach the children a few festive greetings for the Year of the Horse, helping them connect language, culture, and celebration in a meaningful and age‑appropriate way.

Moments like these help bring learning to life and strengthen the special connection we share with our Bradbury community. Thank you for making it such a memorable experience for our young learners. 💛

🔬 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐊𝐢𝐝𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 🔬

We welcomed @curiositykidshk to Hillside for an exciting incursion that will serve as a provocation for our upcoming unit, “𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬.”

Our central idea focuses on 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲, and this hands‑on experience was designed to spark curiosity and wonder. The session introduced the children to a range of early science concepts while nurturing their thinking, questioning, and research skills.

The children took part in a mini “science lab” at school, where they explored colour science and investigated fizzy potions — learning through experimentation, observation, and play.

This joyful provocation sets the stage for deeper inquiry as we begin our new unit, and we’re excited to see where the children’s questions and discoveries will lead next. 💛
