Before and Afterschool Care

Hi families!

Welcome Picnic

This week we were so excited for Syndal South's welcome picnic! The children brainstormed and planned what TeamKids were going to host for the picnic. After a lot of deliberation, we decided on a scavenger hunt which all the children enjoyed planning and were very proud of when their classmates got to experience our activity.  Overall the picnic was a success!

Outdoor Play

This week at TeamKids we have been enjoying the sunshine and spending most of our time outdoors! Our favourite activities to play outside are playground obstacle courses where we time the time it takes to get around the playground, Gaga ball in the gaga pit and recently Chalk drawings. Playing outdoors develops children's gross motor skills and social skills.

Teachers Morning Tea

This week we hosted a morning tea for our teachers to celebrate all the hard work that they do for us! The children collaborated on what we should make for the teachers. They came up with croissants, scones and biscuits. We spent Friday morning preparing for the morning tea and some children helped carry it over. This supports children developing care, compassion and appreciation for our teachers!

Club Planning

This week at TeamKids we focused on planning our clubs we decided on in previous weeks. We discussed what countries we wanted to do for culture club, popular countries include Australia, China and Japan. We discussed some activities we could do for each country including discussion of how we want to complete our passport. This supports the children learning about diversity with respect.

BINGO!

This week the children have loved playing bingo all together. Before group chat we have been playing bingo as a group. This has been a great way to connect as a group! We will further extend on this by making our own bingo cards and decorating them accordingly.

Mindfulness at TeamKids

This week we discussed how we would want to do mindfulness at Teamkids as the children don't often enjoy doing mindfulness. We added to our mindfulness journal passively however brainstormed how we would like to actively be involved. We discussed yoga games and mindfulness games such as silent fish. We will work on including mindfulness into the program.
