While the Olympics have been on television, our children
have been more attracted to having a go at different sporting events. We have
seen lots of gymnastics happening in the SAC, long-jump out on the big oval and
a myriad of different team sports.
In the SAC you could
see an incredibly social mood, with lots of groups together sharing. Whether they
were sitting together and relaxing or shooting hoops and chatting about the
day, everyone was conversing.
We had a group sit together and read Fantastic Mr. Fox, Roald Dahl has been particularly popular at the
moment due to the release of BFG. Our Dahl collection sits in the racks next to
the Wii if ever the kids want to sit and read!
On Wednesday the focus was more on creating and constructing
with the long room being transformed into a village with werewolves on the
prowl and frightened villagers! Others made cardboard houses for paper people,
complete with furniture. Hilariously, the houses always seem to be void of a
laundry! The end of the day was spent with many bodies draped around the room
with book in hand.
Thursday became a mixture of the week with cubby houses
built again, gymnastics in the SAC and basketball being the sport of the day!
We also harvested a lot of herbs from our OSHC garden, collecting mint, thyme,
parsley, coriander and chives to give to parents.
