Happy Holidays!


Happy Holidays!!
To kick-off Winter Break at Senior OSC, we celebrated with a pyjama party for our first in-day! For this day, we encouraged everyone to wear their favourite pyjamas, whether it was their favourite animal onesie or a fluffy pair of slippers to get into the holiday spirit.

The day started with the children working together to create forts out of tarps, sheets, chairs, tables, and couches. The end result was a giant fort that we called “Party Palace” that took up the entire room. To add some festive decoration to the forts, the children added christmas lights, rugs, and our OSC speaker with colourful lights. The children listened to christmas stories and sang along to their favourite holiday songs.


Afterwards, Brianna lead an activity of making marshmallow monsters with different sizes of marshmallows and some lollipop sticks to connect them. It was a great hit with the children as they were able to use their creativity and imagination to create unique and wacky figures made of fluffy sweetness. This activity was followed by smaller activities such as nail painting and “Name that Tune”.  


Here are some examples of their creations:



In the afternoon, we prepared the gym for a newspaper snowball fight since sadly no snow has yet to fall this Winter. It did not stop us though as hundreds of newspaper balls flew through the air, back and forth, as the gym filled with joy and laughter. The children were challenged to work together in teams to create their own base using gym supplies such as soccer nets, mats, and benches to protect themselves from the newspaper snowballs. The day ended with warm hot chocolate and to add some more sweet treats, the children melted their marshmallow monsters into their cups.


Some upcoming out-trips to expect this Winter Break is Sun God Pool, Science World, and Garden City Park. With the addition of some in-days such as OSCITY Day and a News Years Bash!

Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday!
Until next time,
Emily
