Have you ever seen a Bilby? It seems we are seeing them everywhere!
With Easter just around the corner we have been invited by the Australian National Botanic Gardens to run their Easter Bilby School's program and Holiday Workshops.
One lucky class from 3 different schools in the ACT, were invited to participate. The children were asked to produce a body of work showing what they had learnt about this rare marsupial and its habitat.
The boys and girls from Orana school made fantastic mixed media canvases showing the Bilbies' life style and habitat. They used paint, pastel, paper and found objects, the boys even added soil for an authentic look.
The kids from Fadden Primary School wrote stories, poems and comic strips about the Bilbies and their lifestyle.
And the children from Farrer Primary School modeled Bilbies out of clay, which they will display in a diorama, showing the Bilby's arid desert home.
The children's work will be on display at the Botanic Gardens for the month of April.
And don't forget to look out for these great Easter and School Holiday workshops!
