Over the last fortnight we have been busy with various forms of block construction and board games. These activities provide opportunities to develop collaboration, fine motor skills and creativity. We have seen block creations ranging from zoos and stables to towers and rocket ships. Children show high levels of enthusiasm for these activities, especially when it comes to showing our educators what they have created.
Board games have included enchanted forest, mastermind, and snakes and ladders. Children can demonstrate basic counting, problem-solving and turn taking during these games.

A reminder that children require a hat and re-fillable drink bottle each session. Please ensure these are correctly labelled should they get misplaced.

If your child/ren will be absent from a session, please ensure they are marked absent on the iparent portal. This is done under the bookings tab by selecting the date/session and clicking the red x on the right. Please see one of our educators for support if you are experiencing issues making or managing your bookings. Failure to notify us of absences in after school care means educators are having to search for children and a no-show fee may be applied to your account. A reminder that bookings with less than 24hrs will need to be made via contacting the service on 0459 991 697.
