What’s happening at Helping Hands?

What a great first week back we have had! A big welcome back to all our children – we have loved hearing what everyone got up to over the school holidays. This week we have done some dot painting, role playing with the dolls, exploring our recently new games such as suspend, Scotland yard and frog hoppers. Outside the house, soccer and handball have been the biggest hits this week, and children have also tested practiced their footy and basketball skills. Stand up sit down and capture the flag have also been popular with our morning children to beat the chilly mornings. Please ensure your children are coming with jumpers, hats and drink bottles to enjoy outdoor play before and after school during this cold weather.

The children have also been exploring our revamped reading corner and have been exploring their favourite life quotes to display in this area. This has encouraged children to share positive comments among each other, creating a welcoming and happy environment to spend their mornings and afternoons in.

This week we have announced new children for our junior, senior and sports co-ordinator roles. Grace. G will be our new senior co-ordinator, Imogen. T will be our new junior co-ordinator, and Jack will team up with Terri-Anne to be our new sports co-ordinators. These roles encourage children to develop their leadership skills and help guide younger and new children through the service routines and expectations. A big congratulations to these children.
