The OSHC team would like to warmly welcome all our families to OSHC for 2022. We are loving getting to know you all and helping our new children settle into our OSHC family and familiarise themselves with our routines. We offer many experiences for the children to participate in daily, these activities stem from the children’s interests, needs and ideas. The children are actively involved in creating our programme. It is important for children to be actively involved in creating their environments as they learn skills such as collaboration, negotiating and decision making.
Some of the activities the children have been involved in this Term include, painting, exploring playdough, blocks, trains, dolls, puzzles, board games, colouring in, learning origami, box construction, kite making, animal crafts, rice play, playing in home corner, basketball, soccer and skipping. All these activities are not only fun but are valuable learning opportunities for the children. As children play, they are being creative, using their imagination, learning to share, turn take, resolve conflicts, develop their dexterity, physical, cognitive, and emotional strength. It is through play children develop the skills to engage and interact in the world around them.
