School Holiday Sea Stories in the Boatshed
About
These school holidays join children’s books authors Diane Jackson Hill and Kerri Erler in the Queenscliffe Maritime Museum’s Gil Allbutt Boatshed, as they read their stories about amazing animals at sea; Wind catcher: Migration of the Short-tailed Shearwater and Bozo the Brave. Through these stories you will join a short-tailed shearwater called Hope on her 30,000 kilometer migration from Griffiths Island, Victoria, to the Antarctic Circle, as well as the cocker spaniel Bozo’s epic journey navigating the dangerous waters of ‘The Rip’, after he falls off a fisherman’s boat.After the story readings, children will get a chance to enact the stormy winds that help and hinder Hope, with streamers and musical accompaniment. They will also create their very own illustrations of Bozo and Hope’s journeys, inventing alternative outcomes for these adventurous characters.
Perfect for: Primary school students aged 6-10, Cost: $6 per child, parents/carers free.
