The children at Sr. Out-of School Care have been keeping busy with a variety of new activities and games. We are always looking for new and exciting games that are not only challenging for the kids but brings out much creativity and of course emphasis on fun. Just in case you have missed it we have livened up the room and here are just a few of the games and art activities they have been up to for the past month.

| Our new "Welcome" banner is up! We have removed the old one and replaced it with the new. The next time you come by try and find your child's name on the banner. |
 |
| A new twist on a old game, try and get the little marble inside from start to finish while moving the ball through the maze. You have concentrate and be patient. |
 |
| Our new favortie card game; Ratuki! Popular among all the children here and very easy to play. Try to race to five, but do not forget to call out Ratuki to collect your points. |

| Be creative and innovative: Bridge Building with Dennis and friends! |

Environmental Exploration
14-11-2012, 05:31 PM
OSC has started working on an environmental awareness
project. The purpose of the project is to build awareness about the environment
and to learn about sustainable resource practices such as ‘reduce, reuse, and
recycle’. So far Nolan and Jasmine have been very productive in creating a
script for a video on a news report regarding energy conservation. The children are being guided through the research process for their chosen topics in
order to find facts to help strengthen their message. This week we will be
shooting and begin editing their videos and our goal is to hopefully show our
final project when all is complete.
More to come,
Peter
Challenge Accepted!
01-11-2012, 02:17 PMGreetings All,
As we continue into fall a new challenge has arrived at our Out of School Care program. This challenge presents the children with an opportunity to earn tokens while following the guidelines listed on our challenge board. As a group they can earn tokens by signing in and out, following the rules, washing their hands, cleaning up and being polite. They can also earn tokens individually by being good leaders, including others, and being accountable for their actions. Our ultimate goal for this challenge is to encourage children to be respectful and responsible.
Take care,
Carolyn

Mmmmm.. Delicious!

Veggie Pizza
We taught a group of kids the process of planning out a homemade veggie pizza meal. From preparation time to portions and budget, the kids had a full pizza baking experience while staying nutritious. The children learned how to knead the dough and roll it out and how to add the perfect amount of toppings for an even bake. In OSCuisine we like to put the emphasis on healthy alternatives that appeal to kids.

Turkey Sliders & Sweet Potato Chips
Sometimes we just have to think out of the box, instead of cheeseburgers and
fries, we created turkey patties with goat cheese and onion, served on a whole wheat
and oat bun with baked sweet potato chips. Healthy and convenient, this was a perfect meal for those short on time. The children had fun mixing the
ground turkey and all the other ingredients with their hands and of course indulging in the meal afterwards.

Fun on a Pro D day!
02-10-2012, 05:56 PM
On Friday during Gilmore and Quilchena’s Pro D day we took advantage of the nice weather and spent the majority of
the day outside. Brice, Noah, Rhyann ,
Alex, Ian and Carolyn skated the day away on their longboards and
skateboards. Soon everyone was outside
soaking up the last of the rays before the day turned to rain. Junior OSC was over for a visit and joined us
outside armed with chalk. Together we
combined longboarding with chalk and a mural was born! Just as Junior OSC headed back to West
Richmond the rain fell down leaving us a blank canvas for another day!
Rain, rain, go away, come again another day.
Smiles,
Carolyn
When chalk and longboards meet a new activity is born.
A little tune up goes a long way when it comes to caring for your longboard.
