What a fabulous time at OSHC we have had this week. We
kicked off Monday with a BBC documentary called Before Dinosaurs: Walking With Monsters a look at the life evolving
before the time of the dinosaurs. Also we had a whole lot of toe-tapping, hip
wiggling and body groovin’ dancing later on in the evening to stay warm.
Some of you may have noticed that lately, Damian and Maya
have not been at OSHC often or at all. This is because they are both completing
their final year practicum for their Uni degrees. Maya is teaching a year two
class at a local school and saying that it is full on. She is super excited to
see everyone in week seven when she returns. Damian is teaching drama at a high
school down south. He spent last Friday being stage manager for their showcase.
Currently his students are working on movie reviews and preparing for a
performance in the coming weeks.
Tuesday we continued watching Before Dinosaurs in the long room. As it was such a hit the night before.
This week we have been granted some kind weather and so have
spent as much time out-doors as possible. From ball games to gymnastics, group
chasey and dodge-ball. In the SAC we have played cricket, basketball and soccer.
At the end of the week great behaviour was rewarded with
some skating and bikes on the basketball court. This is something the kids
regularly request and so is kept for Friday night when it is quieter in the
playground.
Pupil-Free Day
Pupil-Free Day
Please be reminded that it is pupil-free day on Friday 10th
of June. Please find a program on Dianne's desk like the one below. But
remember that booking slips need to be handed in person to Dianne or staff.
Friday night we watched some Pokemon episodes as requested by Sol. This was in anticipation of the new Pokemon game called Pokemon Go. This game will be available on android and apple devices and is similar to geo-caching, wherein you use GPS to locate and capture Pokemon.
Harry Potter and the
Philosopher’s Stone - Review by Joel K.
I think it was good because there was lots of adventure.
Harry Potter goes to Hogwarts, it’s a magic school, where Harry learns magic
and makes friends. The book’s good because I like the characters, Hermione is
my favourite. The best bit was when Harry met Professor Quirrell at the mirror of Erised.

Survey This week's survey is in! Last week we asked what activities we could organise when the weather is cold and wet. Suggestions included origami, cooking, more movies, video games and more D&D. We will endeavor to include more of these activities through the weeks to come. Joke of the Week
