Introducing your Club/Activities: Mythology club aims to teach students the importance of learning about the past through the beliefs of ancient civilizations. Students can find an appreciation for history in a way they might not have exposure to during their normal time in school.

General Directions: Each week, students will learn a different aspect of mythology, or practice information learned in a previous lesson. Activities aim to be as hands on as possible to encourage participation

Tips/Tricks: As students are younger, it is important to be prepared but flexible with lessons. Sometimes, if something isn’t working for your students you might to revert to a backup activity. It is also good to have multiple activities planned for each day. Having a schedule for students in the layout of the club (ex: snack, lesson, cleanup) is helpful for keeping students on track.

Facilitator’s Guide
Space Venture is a set of challenges based on famous mathematical computational problems. The goal of this game is to introduce these different problems to kids through various scenarios. Space Venture can be played by all ages.

Recommendations:
1st-5th grade level : simply allow the kids to play the game
6th grade level + : challenge the kids to find the most OPTIMAL solution whether it be the least amount of moves when SHIPPING or collecting the most items in EARTH SHELF.

Abstract
This Tour the World club gives students the opportunity to interact with the world, other cultures, and people groups. Through six or seven different countries and many hands-on activities, students will learn what it means to keep an open mind, they will develop a curiosity for the world, and they will be encouraged to prioritize learning and asking questions over giving judgments when faced with something new.

Outputs or final products: (Does the club have a final product/project to showcase to community?) A completed “passport” with their favorite things about each country we visit, as well as several other take-home crafts.

Introducing your Club/Activities: This Tour the World Club gives students the opportunity to interact with the world, other cultures, and people groups.

General Directions: Think of 6-7 countries you are interested in and research more about their cultural aspects; food, holidays, flag, geographic location, language, sports, etc. Integrate hands-on activities to help students connect to a few of these aspects.

Tips/Tricks: Don’t try to teach too many cultural aspects, pick two or three and go more in depth. Make everything as interactive as possible.

Transitioning to school and between educational settings is a significant milestone for children and families. Successful transitions lead to better outcomes for children and enhance continuity of learning and development. A successful transition occurs when a child and their family feel a sense of belonging in their new environment. Educators, teachers and school and service leaders are uniquely placed to support children and families in establishing and maintaining a sense of belonging at critical transition points. The evidence-based practices presented in this guide can be used to support children’s transitions:

from before-school care to school
from school to after-school care.
It is designed to help services and schools work together to achieve more successful transitions. We recommend school and OSHC leaders set up a meeting once each term to discuss the strategies presented in this guide and make a plan for the following term.

This evidence summary supports AERO’s practice guide for transitions between school and outside school hours care (OSHC). It describes the evidence base behind the guides, synthesising insights from available research to connect to policy and practice.

This summary is derived from a systematic review conducted with our partners at Monash University and with support from the National Outside School Hours Service Alliance (NOSHSA), in May 2022, using the Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines (Moher et al., 2009).
