OSHC at Marion

At Marion OSHC we are committed to providing quality learning opportunities, delivered in a safe, secure and stimulating environment.

 

During OSHC this term we will continue focusing on reminders about sustainability eg. recycling. Our goal for this term is show each other respect. The children were very busy in the October Vacation Care program with a visit from animals anonymous, an excursion to Hazlewood park to play on the playground and also have a bbq lunch, science experiments that bubbled everywhere, hair and beauty day with everyone getting into the activities of crazy hair, nails, lip gloss and bath crystals, painting around with Charndra to finish our full sized Enderman art work and lots of other fun activities. So far this term in OSHC we have continued the sensory activities to make colour changing slime in week 1 and pudding dough in week 2. The children are really enjoying these activities and the added twist is that one of the children is being picked each week to lead the activity. We have been looking after the veggie garden during Vacation Care and term time in after school care. Other programmed activities are creative sand pit play, outdoor with nature play on the oval , basketball, creative painting, bounce battle and card games including Taco, cat, goat, cheese, pizza. Our home corner has also been very popular with lots of imaginative play.

 

Parents are welcome to offer suggestions for programming ideas and to participate on our OSHC committee which meets twice a term. Being a member of this committee gives families the opportunity to have even more input into the program and if anyone is interested in becoming involved please come and talk to Guy or myself.
