After School Care Fun! 

Kimberly, Acting Service Coordinator 

 

The past fortnight has been jam packed here at Extend! We had our last week of holiday program which saw us get up to some fun. The colour run was a highlight for many, everyone looked like a rainbow by the end of it.

 

The group also went to the NGV where we saw some entertaining exhibitions. A favourite amongst the group was the vortex room! Afterwards, we had a picnic at a beautiful and picturesque spot in the Botanical Gardens, and as everyone was inspired from the exhibition, we created charcoal drawings on canvas. 

 

Our first week back into regular school hours has been great. Because it's been so hot, we have been making some yummy and healthy refreshments including banana smoothies and berry slushies.

These were a real hit, and many were keen to try them out at home! In case you would like to try them, our banana smoothie recipe included: milk (we used coconut and rice milk), bananas, a dash of vanilla essence and cinnamon. Our berry slushy was simply frozen berries, ice and a little squeeze of honey.

 

We also made some stress balls where we got creative and made emoji, minion and spotty styles. We are looking forward to seeing what the rest of the first term brings us!

Our Extend Superstars are…

Archer Easton for helping run the banana smoothie activity from start to finish. He did a fantastic job!

 

Kashish Kulkarni for having so much enthusiasm this week. In her first week of Prep, she has been getting involved in all the activities and coming to After School Care full of energy!
