Pro-D Day!



Calling all super heroes and super villains!! Due to the very popular trend of the new movie, Avengers: Endgame, here at Senior OSC we decided to make the May 17th Pro-D Day Avengers theme!

To kick-start the long weekend, we conducted various games and art projects throughout the day revolving around this theme.  Beginning the day with our popular game of Empires and transitioned to create your own super hero and super villain name-tags, which we used for another activity later in the afternoon. Following lunch, the kids split into teams and participated in a word scramble obstacle course challenge in the gym. Teams would relay through the obstacle course, unscramble the hidden word and attempt to explain the word to their teammates without talking.

As the sun began to shine in the afternoon, we headed outside to play a group game called predator vs. prey.  Teams worked together to find all the different coloured markers, which resembled the great and powerful “infinity stones.” The stones were hidden throughout the field and playground as players had to find all the colours while attempting to not get tagged.

Our day ended with a sweet popsicle treat as we enjoyed the rest of the sunshine.

Hope everyone had a great long weekend!

Until next time,

Emily

Snow Day!!




Hooray for the first snow day since 1996!!  This year’s winter has been pretty mild so far until we were finally reunited with snow.  On Tuesday February 12, 2019 the Richmond School District announced that all schools are closed for the day; resulting in OSC being closed as well!  




Once we were back to our routine the next day we couldn’t waste this beautiful weather, so we made sure that each child had the appropriate snow gear and we headed outside.  The children were so excited to go sledding down the big hill at Gilmore.  



They went down the hill individually and also in groups by holding onto each other's sleds. It was so much fun watching them have such a great day outdoors.

The activity for the following day was building a snow fort with Carolyn.  They managed to make a hollow igloo that fit at least two children inside.  It looked like they had a blast creating it and later destroying it before they headed inside.  

            






The snow may come back so come prepared and drive safely.  Spring Break is ahead of us and we are so excited for our upcoming out trips and themed in days. 


Until next time,

Tessa
