We have come to the end of another term at school. But as
school winds down, OSHC does not. We have had a full on week with a lot going
on.
Some young people are still going with their sewing. With
some working on making a simple teddy bear working with a pattern, when we say
simple, we mean over twenty or so pieces.
Others have been creative in different ways, making
mini-films on ipads and developing comedic routines!
Some have revisited older
projects such as beading. Making animals by weaving thread in and back through beads.
Bad weather has rarely stopped kids from enjoying their
footy. The oval is boggy, the ground wet, the footy becomes slippery but the
game keeps on. When we can we have moved into the SAC but footy becomes
dangerous when there are too many bodies all crammed into a small space.
We
have also managed to cram in basketball, soccer and gymnastics into the SAC.
Please pack snacks and meals when required. As children are
generally with us longer than a school day please consider packing a little
more.
There have been many board games this week, scrabble, guess
who, connect four and naughts and crosses. It is great to see so many kids
interested in board games because it helps to practise skills like guess-who
helps deduction, describing and categorising. Aside from games there has been a
lot of reading. Harry Potter seems to be trending again.
Friday school finished early at 2:15pm, although many
celebrated with class parties we had our own fun with special ice-creams and
lots of different toppings and our usual Friday night movie which was Haunted
House which is a reoccurring favourite.
As next week is vacation care, please read your program
thoroughly and remember some key points.
Please pack snacks and meals when required. As children are
generally with us longer than a school day please consider packing a little
more.
When we have excursions there are times written for when we
leave. These times are not flexible, if circumstances arise that prevent you
from arriving before we have left you will need to contact Dianne to let her
know.
Lastly, we can not stress how important appropriate clothing
is, especially at this time of the year, enough clothing to stay warm and dry
and shoes that are comfortable and will not chafe when children join in
activities. As many excursions mean a decent walk it is important that shoes do
not hinder children from keeping up with the group or causing them grief!
We look forward to a great vacation care :D
