After School Care Fun!

Sam O'Bryan, Extend Educator

 

It is hard to believe that it is the end of Term 3 already! This year has certainly flown by!

 

We have been fortunate enough over the last few weeks to have a whole bunch of oranges and lemons donated to us. To not let them go to waste, we squeezed our very own OJ!

 

The oranges were so delicious that we ended up using over 40 in total! We also made a delicious treat - lemon slice, which was a big hit! Finally, we used the oranges and lemons for some healthy smoothies.

For a few afternoons, we grabbed our lab coats and glasses and turned into brilliant scientists. We explored some chemical reactions, making slime out of household ingredients and creating monster toothpaste! Both of these created quite a mess, however we all enjoyed observing the changes in the substances!

The last couple of weeks has also seen the return of 4-square. The kids have had a great time challenging each other whilst playing in great spirit! Aside from this, we have also continued enjoying kicking the footy around, playing shark tiggy and digging in the sandpit!

 

At the art and craft table we put together some very comfy cushions,  complicated paper planes and wonderfully colourful owls!

Finally, the team and I would like to wish everyone a relaxing and enjoyable holiday! We can’t wait to hear all the exciting things that everyone got up to when Term 4 starts!
