Monthly Program – August and September
The August Living Waters OSHC program was fun and busy. We created various art and crafts to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Children’s Day. We spent a lot of time talking about how we can look after our environment and spent time in the outdoors and ventured on nature walks. We also celebrated Book Week, where we dressed up and shared with our friends our favourite books and characters.
For the month of September, we have begun creating special and unique gifts for the Dad’s and Father Figures in our lives. We will be celebrating the start of Spring and exploring the various seasons and weather. To learn more about our Program feel free to have a look at the Living Waters OSHC Program Book and Floor Book, located in the hall every afternoon.
