Encouraging Risky Play at Terra Nova Park
25-04-2019, 11:06 AM
Hello,
Over spring break, Jr OSC had the opportunity to play at the fabulous Terra
Nova Adventure Play Environment. The kids love it, and honestly it is my
favorite park to visit as well. This park is a great way for kids to explore a
risky play environment.
The
kids had a great time exploring and climbing everything, and the zip line is
everyone’s favorite (including leaders!)
I
can’t wait until our next visit!
Hope
you all had a great Spring Break!

Let it Snow!

FEBRUARY
IS THE MONTH OF HEARTS, LOVE AND SNOW!!!!
Queen Elsa’s
superpower reached West Richmond Community Centre, telling us that Winter isn’t quite ready to
“Let It Go”, pouring us with some flurries of white snow.
Of course, Jr OSC didn’t miss the chance (and the fun) to accept the offer of “Do you wanna build a Snowman? Come on, let’s go and play!”from Princess Anna.
The
kids truly enjoyed building their very own Olaf!
Some
even went on and played a little soccer game on the snow.
It was truly a winter wonderland and of course a little overdue "White Christmas" feeling.
In addition, what else is a perfect match for snow & holidays?
Well, this month the children enjoyed some Valentine’s treats, goodies,
and crafts.
This month was perfect for red cards, and the overuse of glitter and hearts.

Story time with Brianne
08-02-2019, 11:27 AM
Hello,
For this month's blog I thought I'd give the
children a chance to use their imagination and build a story of their own.
Here it is:
Once upon a time there was a girl named
Anna. One afternoon Anna decided she wanted to go for
a walk in the forest. On her walk she found a beautiful unicorn named Samantha.
Anna and Samantha the unicorn both started walking together, when all of a sudden
Anna bumps into a girl named Chloe. "OUCH!" said Chloe and she fell on her head. Anna said "sorry" and they both became friends and started
on their journey through the forest. On their walk they started to hear something
in the sky. It was an airplane!
A pilot named Matthew flew over the forest and
spotted a monster heading straight for a group of people. That's when Matthew
lands the plane straight onto the monster, not knowing that the monster was actually
a boy named Myles. Myles then picks up the plane with his super strength powers
and throws the plane into the trees. Myles shouts "I'M NOT A
MONSTER!" "Sorry!"says Matthew and they all become friends.
Now that everyone is together they decided to
throw a party. They invite Jakota, Keira and Shreya. Keira baked a beautiful
unicorn cake and brought it to the party. Samantha the unicorn saw the cake
and gobbled it all up! Samantha got a tummy ache because unicorns don't eat
cake.
Then everyone said "Silly unicorn.... cake
is for kids."
I hope you liked the story,
Thanks for reading!
Yours truly,
Brianne

Family Fun Night
14-01-2019, 11:44 AMHello OSC families,
It’s hard to believe that we have just wrapped up the holiday season, and yet another year. It feels just like yesterday that we were entering 2018, ready to tackle another year of adventure, and now here we are again. I‘ve enjoyed looking back on the year, and remembering all that was completed, experienced, and explored in our program.
It was just over a month ago, that we had our Family Fun Night at West Richmond. This event has taken place annually, for a few years now, and has been a great way for the staff in both our JR and SR programs, to get together with our amazing families, and celebrate the holiday season.
It’s always exciting being able to spend time with the children and their families outside of program hours. It was definitely a great evening, full of fun and challenging games, holiday crafts, and yummy snacks.
I really enjoyed this event, so thank you to all the families who joined us for it. I wish you all the best in the year ahead, and hope you’re ready for all it has in-store!
