⛳🦚🦕 Our vacation care program took a wild and wonderful turn this week with a visit to Cooberrie Park Putt-Putt Golf! From peacocks strutting by to dinosaurs hiding around corners, the children stepped into a world of imagination, laughter, and adventure 🌿✨

The putt-putt course was more than just a game—it was teamwork, patience, and plenty of giggles! Each shot brought cheers and encouragement, with some exciting hole-in-ones to celebrate 🎉👏

What an incredible day of creativity, connection, and fun—we can’t wait for our next adventure! 💛

💥👾 Exploding Monsters are back! 👾💥
Yesterday we revisited a much-loved STEM activity. The children drew their own monsters, picked their colours, and excitedly fed them their explosive food! With quick clip-seal bag skills, they watched the fizzing monsters burst to life—jumping back just in time to avoid the splash zone! 🌈✨

We love how hands-on learning sparks curiosity, laughter, and those big “WOW!” moments at Skippy’s. 🌱
