Unbelievable as it is, another school term is almost over – and Unbelievable is the theme of the latest round of holiday activities at local libraries.
Mahurangi East librarians will be running sessions exploring unbelievable mini-worlds, slimy stories, science fun, waiata Māori, green screen Comic Book Month photos and scavenger hunts.
School students can also book in for an “Unbaa-lievable” community trip to Sheepworld, thanks to the Friends of Mahurangi East Library, Gubbs Motors and Sheepworld – to find out more, email mark.reilly@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz or visit the Mahurangi East Library Facebook page.
At Warkworth Library, there will also be all sorts of unbelievable action, including Unbelievable Creatures Storytime, an Unbelievable Athletics day, unbelievable optical illusions and a Lego session.
Warkworth also has some very special visitors to the library. On Tuesday, October 4, the Conservation Learning team from Auckland Zoo will be at the old Masonic Hall to introduce some unbelievable endemic wildlife in Aotearoa New Zealand, as well as sharing information on the zoo’s soon-to-be-fully-opened South East Asian Jungle Track.
On Wednesday, October 5, some very cute dogs will be joining the team from Silverdale Animal Shelter on a visit to the library. As well as learning all about dogs, participants will have a chance to read aloud to the visiting pups.
Warkworth Library is also running an art session and competition based around the theme of peace, with gift card prizes donated by Warkworth Lions Club. There are two age categories – 5 to 7 years and 8 to 11 – with the winners of each receiving $20 and runners-up $15.
In Wellsford, there are no less than 12 free fun art, craft and science activities scheduled across the two-week holiday, including Edison robot coding and construction workshops, Lego and Minecraft sessions and an optical illusion toy-making event.
There is also a Terrific Tessellations colouring session, Diwali and magic eye scavenger hunts, a chance to make your own pom-pom pet, and unbelievable video game, ‘Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes’.
