All About Bees

November 25 @ 10:00 am 11:30 am

Free

Buzz along to hear all about bees and beekeeping. 

A repeat of the popular workshop by Lesley Hurst from Bee Awesome He Pi Miharo will show us some simple ideas we can use to help the bees and the basics of getting started in beekeeping. If the weather is suitable, the beehive will be opened for those interested in getting a closer look at these intriguing insects. Beekeeper suits in adult to children’s sizes will be available.

All ages are welcome – qualify for a Children’s University stamp.

Our presenter Lesley has advised us, that if the morning is too cool it is unwise to open up the hive. If this is the case we will cancel the workshop. A decision will be made by 9 am. Please contact us by text or a phone call to find whether the workshop is definitely on or not. Thanks Ruth, 021 074 3905.

Mysteries of the Mountains – KidsFest

July 15 @ 10:00 am 12:30 pm

$5 ticket allows entry for up to 4 people, including caregiver(s).

Event description

Look into the “Mysteries of the Mountains” with enjoyable crafts and exciting science demonstrations. Learn about the wildlife and the many interesting features we find in our mountains and how mountains are formed. The traditional tunnel will take you up and through a mountain and the diorama activity will give you the chance to create your own alpine scene! 

The Lincoln High School Sustainability Council have devised several craft activities and simple science experiments for our annual KidsFest Event. This year children are invited to explore the alpine environment through hands on interactive craft and science. They will learn about the life to be found in our mountains and its importance to us. This craft morning is truly a community experience with the older students getting as much out of it through their organizing and mentoring as the younger ones doing the activities and the learning.
