It was another great week here at OOSH. Our theme for the week was the season of Spring. We created butterflies, flowers, bees, ladybugs and plants. Chloe H, Asha S and Madi M found lots of gum nuts on the ground and had the idea to turn them into a wind chime. Just a reminder, the weather is beginning to warm up and from term 4 all children will need to wear their hats when playing outside.

Hi everyone, to help promote a healthy lifestyle here at Hamilton South OOSH we have a new afternoon tea menu beginning in term 4. I've attached a copy of the menu for you to look through. As always, we will still continue to provide alternatives for those children who have special dietary requirements. We plan to change the menu each term and would appreciate your feedback or suggestions in planning our future menus.

Week 8 at OOSH was all about the ocean as our theme for the week was the sea. During the week we created some amazing art work. We made jelly fish, fish using the iron-on beads and coloured some wonderful pictures. We also created our very own under water scene. Our theme for week 9 is all about the season of Spring.

This week we not only celebrated Father's Day but all the positive male influences in our lives. The children created lots of fantastic artwork which was either on display in our room or was taken home as presents. Next week (week 8) is "sea week''.

Last week at OOSH was Science Week. Science Week had many great moments. Some of the experiments/activities were lava lamps, balloon experiments, volcanoes, play dough making, boats powered by soap and science craft.
Here are some pictures of the children being wacky scientists.

Last week at OOSH the theme of the week was the Olympics. Some of the events were wheelbarrow racing, the most cart wheels, 4 on 4 soccer and the children also took part in their own version of the Olympic games and also created some Olympic craft.
Here are some pictures of the children's craft and Olympic activities.

Last week at OOSH was a lot of fun with many smiles and laughter. Last week was a free week where the children chose what they would like to do. Take a look at these photo's of the children having a great time.
