TheirCare

Hello Families and Friends,

We’re thrilled to share all the fun and laughter we've been having here at TheirCare over the past couple of weeks! Can you believe the year is almost over? Time sure flies when you're having a great time, and we’ve been making every moment count!

Term 4, Week 7

Welcome to our ‘Sugar Station’ week! This week has been overflowing with sweet fun as the children dove into a world of sugary creativity and hands-on activities! They had an absolute blast decorating cookies with colourful icing, sprinkles, and all sorts of toppings. The excitement didn’t stop there, as the kids also got crafty making their very own ice cream ornaments—each one a unique creation bursting with personality. And, of course, we couldn’t resist a little challenge fun, so the spaghetti marshmallow challenge was a huge hit, with kids building towers and structures, all while laughing and cheering each other on.

The room was filled with endless amounts of fun and joy as the children fully embraced each activity with excitement and enthusiasm. Whether it was carefully decorating cookies or problem-solving with marshmallows and spaghetti, their creativity was on full display throughout the week. Watching them collaborate, share ideas, and cheer each other on was truly heartwarming.

Term 4, Week 8

Welcome to our ‘Treasure Island’ week! Despite the interesting weather that had us adjusting our plans, the children still had an amazing time embracing the adventurous theme of pirates and hidden treasure. They got creative with compass-making, designing their very own pirate masks, and crafting fun eyepatches. The excitement was contagious as the kids dove into each activity with enthusiasm, eager to bring their pirate personas to life. There was no shortage of teamwork and imaginative play as the children helped each other along the way.

The room was filled with laughter and imagination as the children fully embraced the spirit of adventure. From making functional 2D compasses to creating unique, one-of-a-kind masks, their creativity knew no bounds. It was a week filled with teamwork, fun, and plenty of pirate-inspired treasures, making it one to remember!

A quick reminder to families: All children starting school at St. Mary's Ascot Vale in 2025 are welcome to join us at TheirCare from January.

Sun Safety 

Being in Term 4, children must wear hats when engaging in outdoor play. Can I please ask parents and guardians that you remind your child to bring their hat over to TheirCare so that we can go outside and enjoy all the sun has to offer safely! If preferred we have a tub at the service, your child is welcome to bring a spare sun-safe hat that is named that they keep at the service and use throughout the Year! Sunscreen will be applied before going outside every day, if your child requires a particular sunscreen, please do not hesitate to let me know so that I can accommodate for this!
