School Age Program

June 2024

This week the children were in the library as there were some events in the gym. They loved the new change of scenery and were very interested in sensory and fine motor skills this week. We started out the week by continuing working on our fuse bead creations, as the children love making these. Then we continued out the rest of the week with some new building blocks we got called K'nex. The children were very interested in these and came up with many different designs including trucks, cars, helicopters, and pinwheels. During our time in the library we also build our sensory skills by making slime as a group. D and L led this activity by preparing everything in advance including finding a recipe, and collecting all the ingredients. They then got all the other children to come and help them make it. The children loved this activity as they all got a turn to mix glue and baking soda until the slime formed. This was a great team building activity while also creating a fun sensory activity to play with for the remainder of the week. At the end of the week we got the frisbees out and played a round of ultimate frisbee with the children to work on their gross motor skills. Overall the children had a very fun, and engaging eventful week!
