Out of School Hours Care Centre

Vacation Care has just come to an end and while there were many moments worth sharing, I’ve chosen a few that capture the fun experiences and adventures we have had.

Ninja Warrior Gymnastics

The children had a wonderful time pushing their bodies to complete challenges and obstacles as Ninja Warriors. The gymnastic instructors had an assortment of equipment including bars, beams, crash mats, trampolines and vaults for the children to manoeuvre up and over on, but their favourite was the vertical wall. The children pushed themselves to see how high they could high-five. 

Kingpin bowling

This excursion is a longstanding crowd favourite and after these school holidays, I’m certain it will return again. The children challenged themselves as they bowled and played arcade games together. They showed great skills and sportsmanship as they cheered and encouraged one another to do their best. 

Ultimate Sports Incursion

This high energy sports experience was full of action-packed games and challenges that were designed to get the children moving, laughing and working together, and it did.

Brickz4Kidz

Brickz4Kidz brought a huge bag of Lego that was used to challenge fine motor skills, inspire teamwork and let imaginations run wild. During the experience the children had to complete three different activities. The first, involved working as a team to build a working helicopter. It involved a lot of steps which meant they had to focus and work together. The next activity was using Lego to build designs and pictures of planets, rockets, comets and aliens and the final activity was Lego free play.
