After School Care
We take a look at how the Extend After School care
has established itself at FMS.
Jessica Schroeder, Service Coordinator, Extend After School Care program.
Hello to all the parents at Forestville Montessori School, my name is Jessica Schroeder and I am the Service Coordinator of the new Extend After School Care program. I just thought I would take this opportunity to let you know a little bit about myself and some of the activities that the children participate in after school care.
I am an aspiring primary teacher and will be studying for my degree next year. One of my favourite things to do is go surfing at Long Reef beach at sunrise, I think it is a beautiful time of the day. I also enjoy travelling and have already done a solo trip to America and am planning a trip to Europe.
Over the last week there has been many exciting activities planned in after school care including sushi making, where the children were able to create and eat their own sushi roll, many of the children said this was their first time making their own sushi roll. More activities that were deeply enjoyed was Valentine’s Day theme paintings and origami as well as making Chinese dragon puppets in celebration of the Chinese New Year.
Some planned activities for the future include paper plane designing and a flying race, creating masks from paper plates and many more creative activities.
It is a pleasure to be at FMS and I look forward to continuing to get to know your children.
