Dungeons & Dragons
25-02-2013, 02:32 PMAt roughly three and one half hours past the mid-day mark on the Wednesday of each week, a group of young, adventure seeking, students embark on mystical journeys through the different realms of imagination. The group of ruffians started out as a mean posse stealing wherever they could but soon after a couple harsh lessons they soon realized that just like in life there is going to be consequences for all your actions. They quickly went from being thieves to heroes as they saved several towns from bands of pirates made up of trolls, orcs, and evil wizards. In defeating the evil Sea of Swords Clan, the fellowship of the Fellows Ship reclaimed 3 dragon eggs that would have been raised for pure evil and mayhem. The eggs were returned to the rightful keepers for a handsome reward. The Fellowship of the Fellows Ship embark into another journey filled with bravery, treacherous traps, unspeakable evil, and growing friendships between characters and players alike. Stay tuned for more adventures in this fun, role playing game the kids at Sr. OSC cant get enough of; Dungeons and Dragons.
Till next time,
Dungeon Master Adam.

And They All Fall Down ...
18-02-2013, 02:10 PM
Despite the set backs, a group of budding architects (or at
least fans of dominos) built an impressive structure out of dominos. This task took quite a long time to complete
and there were moments when the small group wanted to quit. This was especially true when they were 3-4
dominos away from completion and the entire track was accidently knocked
down. Perseverance was evident when they
re-built their structure for one last time.
Finally the moment they had been waiting for had arrived; the time had
come to knock down the exact thing they had spent an hour building. The video above is the result of their hard
work. Well done guys!
Take care,

Art Attack Month: "3D Photos!"
15-02-2013, 05:30 PM
This week, for the Art Attack project, we wish to bring the
photos into 3D! 3D sounds sophisticated and complicated. However, we find the
easy and simple way to create 3D photos.
To start, you can simply chose the photo you want from a
book, a magazine, or even use your own favorite photo. After that, make 3
copies of your photo. You can either use a photocopy machine or color printer
from home to make those copies.
 |
| Chose your own Photos from a magazine or a book |
When you have 3 copies of the photo, you can start to make
your own 3D photo!
 |
| Make 3 Copies of the Photos |
First, decide which parts of the picture should be in each
layer. We can have three layers, so
something can be in the front, the middle, and finally the back.
Then, trace which objects you want in each layer, cut them
out, and stick folds of paper to add depth to each object depending on how
close you want them to be.

| Ready for 3 Layers |
 |
| This is what makes your Photo 3D |
While you are doing this with kids, different photos or pictures can provide different levels of challenge for the kids. Following are the steps for a more difficult picture.
 |
| Cut out the objects from the photo |
 |
| Cut out the details of the Picture |
 |
| Sharp cutting knife. Leader supervision required! |
 |
| Finally... detailing is done! |

| Jason Lee is loving the every minute of it! |

Again, making 3D photo requires plenty of patience from the kids but it's not as hard as you think it is. With some careful snipping and pasting, you can make any
picture 3D!
Stay tune with our next Art Attack...
Thanks for dropping by,

Exploration In-Day
14-01-2013, 05:54 PM
Here at OSC we asked the children to come explore with us during a recent in-day. The challenge put forth to the group was to create a vehicle of any kind that could be later used to watch a movie 'drive in style.' Many groups were formed and soon the multi-purpose room was covered in cardboard, tape, and imagination. Spaceships, trains, race cars, and more began to take shape around the room. Zoe even built a life size replica of a film reel. The hallways were just as busy with most of the creations getting a paint job before lunch. After all the vehicles were finished and lunch was enjoyed everyone made their way into the gym with their creations. The gym was transformed into an old school drive in movie theater with a new school twist (where else could you find spaceships and trains at a drive in movie theater other than OSC?) In keeping with our Exploration theme we watched an invention filled movie. It was amazing to see what everyone was able to create with just their mind, some time and a lot of cardboard. Well done everyone!
Take care,
Carolyn
