OSHC also celebrated Multicultural Week and made different foods from around the world.  The children enjoyed helping in the kitchen.

In our week 4 Program we have a vast variety of activities such as imbedding the children’s thoughts on how they would like to celebrate at the Canberra Show and celebrating Shrove Tuesday. We have a Canberra Show Competition (in house) that the children can use their creativity and imagination to have on display in the OSHC room. For Shrove Tuesday the children enjoyed some delicious pancakes for afternoon tea.
