Lots of happy sounds are expected in the Library this week and next as our school term events return. Call us to book your place for Storytime, Music for Little Ears and Baby Rhyme and Read:
Storytime Returns for New School Term Tuesday 15th July
Storytime for Pre-School age children and their carers returns this school term at Orange City Library on Tuesdays, Wednesdays at 11am, and Thursdays at 11am and 2pm. Each session includes storytelling and craft. Bookings open one week before each session, to book your place please call 6393 8132.
Music For little Ears Returns Wednesday 23 July and Friday 25 July
Join in the fun of Music for Little Ears. Listening to different types of music helps “little ears” get ready to learn language skills. We have percussion instruments just the right size for little hands: Bells, Maraquitas, Drums & Tambourines. Samantha from the Orange Conservatorium presents the musical program at the library on Wednesdays and Fridays at 10am. Children aged 3-5 years are welcome to join the program. Call library staff on 6393 8132 to book your place for term four starting on Wednesday 23 July.
Music For Little Ears will initiate little ears to classical music, singing, percussion, dancing and musical games. This helps children learn language and social skills. The program is supported by Orange Regional Arts Foundation.
Baby Rhyme and Read Returns on Monday 21st July
If you would like to learn words and actions to popular nursery rhymes to teach your little ones, then come along to Baby Rhyme and Read at Orange City Library. Parents and carers are invited to get involved in the baby Rhyme and Read sessions to help prepare their babies for learning to read. Babies aged from 0 to 12 months enjoy rhymes, singing and sounds to help them develop and learn. The nuts and bolts of literacy are established in childhood. Parents, carers and adult role models have a powerful impact on their child’s enjoyment of reading and their ability to read. By singing nursery rhymes, reading and talking to your baby, they will get used to language and enjoying it – and that is what these sessions are about.
Baby Rhyme and Read sessions are free and will be held from Monday 21st July at 10.15am for six weeks at Orange City Library, Byng Street, Orange. Each session goes for just 30 mins. Places are limited so please call the Library on 6393 8132 to book your place.
