Before and After School Care & Vacation Care

06/08/2024

This week at Ashfield, the children have been enthusiastically exploring their new indoor environment. They've enjoyed the freedom to choose their own resources and have been particularly inventive in the new arts and crafts area.

The children have also been delving into the concept of open-ended resources, creatively repurposing everyday items. We've seen them construct roads from blocks and checkers pieces and build houses with recycled paper.

To celebrate OSHC Educators Day, the children crafted cards and presents from recycled materials to express their gratitude to their educators.

Additionally, the children have kicked off Lego Wars, inspired by some fantastic suggestions from the kids themselves.

Embedding Indigenous Perspectives ❤️💛🖤
Towards the end of Term 3, our Weldon SRC worked together to write our new Acknowledgement of Country. Since then, we have been embedding our Acknowledgement into our daily routine, with children taking turns to read it during our before and after school care group times. To extend on this, children have been engaging in a range of experiences that celebrate Aboriginal culture, including illustrating the Rainbow Serpent dreaming story, and creating Indigenous Sand Art, which is now displayed on our art wall. We have also added additional Aboriginal resources to our OOSH Room, including an artwork by Yorta Yorta artist Holly McLennan-Brown, and a range of books by Indigenous authors.
Let us know if you have other ideas of how we can include Indigenous culture in our service!

✨Developing children’s independence and contribution to our OOSH community ✨
At before and after school care children are actively involved in completing daily tasks that keep our environment safe and healthy, including helping educators with the dishes, and cleaning of the room, teaching them valuable life skills. We also develop children’s life afternoon tea skills by encouraging them to make their own breakfast, building their independence!
