CHILDREN\u2019S Week has arrived in the Golden Plains Shire for another year, and to celebrate kids\u2019 skills and achievements, there\u2019s plenty of fun events planned for families across the region.<\/p>\n
Shire officers are working with local childcare centres, kindergartens, and community groups to deliver the activities for free from Saturday 21 to Sunday 29 October, with an aim to make them accessible and inclusive for everyone.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis year we\u2019re embracing the theme, children have a right to relax, play and take part in activities they enjoy, and it\u2019s great to see so many places across the Shire offering activities for Children\u2019s Week,\u201d said municipal manager of community wellbeing Emma Wheatland.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe encourage everyone to embrace the activities on offer and create some fun and lasting memories.\u201d<\/p>\n
At Inverleigh\u2019s Yerram Yaluk Bun Play Space, a mindful movement session for families will be facilitated on Tuesday 24 October from 9.45am, and at Haddon\u2019s Damashii Karate Dojo, children aged 4 to 12 can try karate and self-defence on Saturday 28 October.<\/p>\n
At the Bannockburn Library, Toddler Time will run on Tuesday 24 October from 10.30am to 11.00am, and preschool story time is set for Thursday 26 October, from 10.30 to 11.15am.<\/p>\n
