A fantastic couple of
weeks have passed us by...
As the weather has changed so too has the vibe at OSHC. Our
children have captured the last moments of truly warm sun and spent a lot of
time out on the mini oval. With older girls teaching younger ones cart
wheeling, handsprings and tumbles, others have played dodgeball and different
variations of chasey.
But alas! The cold has finally gripped us with its chill.
Lots of the kids have retreated into the SAC and inside, where there has been
more card games, board games and creative play using waffle blocks.
Some like Margie have taken advantage of being kept inside
and spent time creatively colouring in, drawing and making from our recycled
materials. Some of the girls and boys have been creating houses for teddy bears
and other making houses for snails.
Damian spent time playing Nutmeg with some children in the SAC, where you need to sneakily
kick a soccer ball through other’s legs. The game uses precision, timing and control
of the ball. It is also hilarious to watch!
Maya and Brandon were teaching Badminton skills out on the
tiger turf through the week. The kids played individually and in doubles. They had
to learn quickly about spatial awareness so they didn’t injure each other. But
they also spent time working on team work and co-operating in games.
As some of our garden has gone to seed or died off due to
seasonal changes, we have decided to grow some of our own seedlings. We made
the pots from recycled newspaper and sowed carrots, shallots, chives and
coriander. Already we have some shallots sprouting!
Each couple of weeks we are surveying the children to find
out what is important to them. This is so we can cater to children’s interests
and preferences and be better informed. This week we are surveying what
everyone’s least favourite afternoon tea is.
Night at the Museum- Movie
Review by Chelsea H.
Night at the Museum
was scary, fun, imaginative and creative. The statues, pictures and models
start to move, talk and walk around the museum.
It was all kind of ends up in a mess. But a fun mess.
My favourite part was when the main character got spooked by
the ghost. The ghost was creeping up behind him, it went straight through his
head and scared him a lot.
The main character is funny, scared and weird. His name is
Larry Daley, he is the security for the museum.
I would recommend the movie, because it’s really interesting
and fun. It is rated PG. Some bits were
fun but some bits were boring.
I give it 7/10
Demon Dentist by David
Williams- Book Review by Tasmin and Imogen
At the start David Williams introduces us to two characters,
Alfie and his dad. They were poor and they lived in a bungalow. Alfie has very
bad teeth. He never brushed his teeth, they were all rotten, and some were
black and falling out. Alfie’s dad is very sick, his doctor told him never to
go back into the coal mine that he used to work in, because he got lung cancer.
The book is amazing, but kind of scary and sad at the end.
Tasmin: One of my favourite bits is when Alfie and his dad
were in his little house with Winnie when she had a coffee which she was
allergic to. It goes right through her.
Imogen: Another bit at the end where Winnie the social
worker got married with the news agent Raj and Winnie had a very long middle
name and last name.
It is very entertaining, funny and good when Maria (the
teacher) reads it.
We give it 10/10
