The initiative encourages children aged 4 \u2013 11 to read at least six library books during the summer holidays. Thursday July 18 saw the launch of the Challenge during the morning assembly at Wenvoe Primary School. This year the Challenge focuses on the theme of \u2018Space Chase\u2019 \u2013 an adventure featuring aliens and a family of astronauts inspired by the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing. Children are challenged to read at least six library books over the school holidays and collect rewards, such as stickers and book marks, on their way to receiving their challenge certificate and medal.<\/p>\n Amazing Spectacular Space, Wednesday 21<\/strong>st<\/strong>August from 10 am ‘ll 12 pm, in the Library – <\/strong>A Special Library Event to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the first landing on the moon. The workshop will be run by David Breen who worked at Techniquest for many years. This is a drop-in activity for families, but adults interested in space are most welcome. Find out about the planets in our solar system and exoplanets. These are planets which orbit distant stars. Control a hydraulic robot arm and wear our version of space gloves to complete simple tasks. How does gravity affect the weight of a simple object on different planets? Handle meteorite samples and small samples from the Space Shuttle and Apollo space capsules.<\/p>\n Family History Sessions – Tuesday mornings <\/strong><\/p>\n Have you always wanted to trace your roots and learn more about your ancestors?
