What to expect for Term 1:
Please remember it is up to the group to organise activities each term and support those lovely parents (and grandparents!) who volunteer their time and effort. Make sure to check out the ABOUT page for more details. Our behaviour guidelines are available there. Parents are to remain at the venue and remain responsible for their children at all times.
Below is a description of the main workshops being run each term. We also have an end of term party, excursions, incursions, movie nights, a lantern festival and a co-op magazine edited and compiled by the kids. And much much more.

TERM 1, 2019
ALL SESSIONS HAVE VERY LIMITED NUMBERS.
THE PLAN SO FAR...
9.45am-10.15am Science - Physics – (this may be delayed until term 2) Each week there is a new experiment to be inspired by. It is aimed at 6-10 yr olds, however older and younger children will enjoy this session also. Mostly Demo's this term. Our first weeks will be considering LIGHT: refraction, reflection, rainbows and more. Co-ordinated by JO
10.00am – 11.30am ROBO-RALLY – This is a robotics challenge session. Families bring in their own equipment and try one or all of the following: Robot Team Dance, Sumo Wrestling, or navigating a MAZE. We recommend the SPHERO for beginners (available from Officeworks), however some of us will have Meet Edisons, NXT’s and EV3’s. Parents must be present to assist any child under 10yrs at all times. If you are not able to be in the room please email us to explore other options (this group is for 6yrs and older). Co-ordinated by Sonia, Ann-Marie and Kevin
10.00-11.30am ART/CRAFT: This session will have multiple tables set up with many options for all ages and interests. They could include: hand-sewing, knitting, crochet, drawing, painting, polymer clay (and playdough for under 6 yr olds mainly). Co-ordinated by Anna, and TBC
