The week’s activities focused on engaging children in hands-on learning through a unique collaboration.
The key event, Tracks, Scats and Habitats, was hosted by Corowa District Landcare at Redlands Hill Reserve.
About 30 children and their carers participated in a scavenger hunt, leaf rubbing, and a special Storytime supported by Corowa Library.
Storytime in the bush proved popular.
The scientific fun continued at the library, where a display and scavenger hunt were set up. Children were able to follow the footprints of dinosaurs and other animals through the Civic Centre, culminating in a large jungle display with a hidden T-Rex in the library.
A themed Storytime attracted more than 25 children and carers, who were rewarded with dinosaur stickers.
Federation Council mayor, Cheryl Cook said it was fantastic to see the community so engaged with science and nature.
The postive feedback has set the stage for future partnerships.
“The collaboration between Corowa District Landcare and our library has been a wonderful success," Cr Cook said.
"Science Week is all about making learning fun and accessible, and these events did exactly that.
“It's a great example of how our local organisations can work together to provide valuable and enriching experiences for families in our community.”
She said they were thrilled with the turnout and the response and that the positive feedback had set the stage for future partnerships.
