21.01.2022 Keeping Young Minds Active And Engaged These Holidays 21 September 2020 Victorian kids will be kept busy making, baking and creating these school holidays, thanks to an array of online activities and events accessible via the Victoria Together platform.... Today marks the first day kids and families take a break from remote and flexible learning during Term Three school holidays. But there's still plenty on offer to keep our youngest Victorians active and engaged. Aspiring young filmmakers can learn how to write their own scripts, build their own stop-motion animation and create a cracking contraption with Wallace and Gromit, thanks to the online offering at ACMI. While a trip to the NGV will have to wait a little while longer, kids can tune in to virtual art classes, download activity sheets and take artistic inspiration from their very own home, backyard or balcony.
