School break opportunity to have other-worldly fun

With the Easter school holidays fast-approaching, Brimbank council is ready to host a range of ‘other-worldly’ activities to keep families entertained.

From a stars and planets workshop and a galaxy slime party, to a space adventure show, there will be plenty of extra-terrestrial enjoyment on offer from April 7 onwards.

The upcoming school holiday program will include a minibeast wind chime session where kids will be able to make big things grow from small things while learning about the Brimbank Seed Library.

On April 8, at a meet and greet with volunteer members of the State Emergency Service (SES), participants will enjoy a unique story-time session and acquire information about staying safe in extreme weather and natural disasters.

Other noteworthy events on the agenda include a screening of a stellar space-themed movie, with a self-guided activity available before and after; a fantastic forces workshop which will explore the science of movement, both within and beyond the world and will dive into Newton’s Third Law of Motion; and a burst of gooey fun with a slime-making workshop.

Finally, Easter crafternoons will also be available at each library branch starting from April 14, with families encouraged to get egg-cited for the sessions.
