OSHClub News

Hello everyone,

Thank you to everyone I have met at Mount Pleasant Road Primary so far for being so welcoming! It’s been lovely to meet so many new faces over the past two weeks and I look forward to meeting you all as time goes on.

I’d like to take the opportunity to introduce Jess, the new permanent educator at Mount Pleasant Road OSHClub. Jess has been working with OSHClub for the past 9 months and is currently studying a Bachelor of Teaching.

OSHClub continues to be open during our usual hours of operation (7:00 - 08:50 and 3:30 - 6:00) for the children of essential workers who are also attending school.

Making and Doing @ OSHClub

Over the past few weeks, new resources have been brought into OSHClub. We now have an abundance of magnetic tiles which I’m sure will be an absolute favourite resource! They are so engaging and allow for endless construction possibilities and creativity, as well as plenty of collaborative play and problem solving.

Last week, the children were busy building marble runs with the magnetic tiles and marble run attachments, initially with some educator guidance and then independently. The marble run idea was then extended upon by adding dominoes at the end. The finished result was amazing!

There has also been plenty of restaurant play with our new play food, cash registers and mini clipboards, which inspire menu writing and plenty of role play.

Activities Planned for this week

Our activity planner is based on observations of children’s play, their interests and suggestions made by the children themselves.

On our planner for this week we have:

Make your own scratch art
Paper tacos and woolly spaghetti for restaurant play
Building with magnetic tiles
Jenga construction
Draw your future-self
Self portrait painting
Dodge Ball
Ship, Shark, Shore
