VACATION CARE FUN

April 2017

​From the Tenth to the Twenty Fourth of April we completed our Vacation care program with group of children varying in age. During this period the children completed a large variety of different activities and excursions with the different educators at the centre. We started off the program with an excursion to our local cinema where the children watched a movie called Boss Baby. The children thoroughly enjoy our excursions as it’s an opportunity to be out in our local community. The following day the vacation care children completed in a bake off! First the children made waffles from scratch, next they made cake pops and then they got to decorate their cake pops using a wide range of icings and decorations. Each day the Vacation care children continued to participate in activities which were planned and spontaneous. On the thirteenth of April the centre celebrated Easter by having a morning tea with our families. The Vacation care children were heavily involved in the day and helped all of the other children to complete art and craft activities. On the day the favourite activity was decorating biscuits with icing and sprinkles to make them look like Easter eggs. The following week was very busy with an Incursion and an Excursion. On Wednesday the Nineteenth a Reptile show came to the centre and displayed a large variety or Reptiles to all our children. During the incursion the Vacation care children asked questions about the Reptiles and even got to hold a snake! On Friday the twenty first the children went on an excursion to Featherdale! The children all arrived eagerly at the centre in the morning looking forward to the day ahead! At Ten the children and two educators gathered together and made the short trip to Featherdale. Upon arrival the children were discussing which animals they were looking forward to seeing the most! Once inside the Wildlife park the children had the opportunity to walk around and interact with the different animals and also feed them. This excursion was definitely the highlight of our Vacation care program!
