Pirrku Explorers - Wombats
Event description
Gooey, Brewy, Yummy, Chewy, Wombat Stew! Come along and help us in the mud kitchen as we cook with a variety of nature-play ingredients. We will also be mixing up colours to paint a wombat to take home. Lots of wombat fun!
Pirrku Explorers is a social session with a range of educational activities suitable for children approximately 2 - 7 years and their carers. Each month we explore a new theme, discover something new and make friends playing along the way. Pirrku Explorers takes place on the first Friday of each month.
The Kaurna word for story is pirrku and Pirrku Garden is the name of the garden area we are establishing at the rear of the Evanston Gardens Library. This program takes place (weather depending) outside in the recently established Pirrku Garden. The area has dappled shade so we recommend hats and sunscreen. If the weather is not suitable we will relocate inside the library.
April - Wombat Stew
We will cook up a storm in the garden with all sorts of nature-play items as we explore the world of wombats.
May - Bowerbird
National Simultaneous Storytime is held in May each year and this year the book is Bowerbird Blues so we thought we'd help the bowerbird build a giant nest. Plus some little ones to take home.
