Join Vote 4 Me and Camp Canberra author Krys Saclier as we explore Canberra, engage in a Q&A, plus take a whirlwind trip to visit some our most well known museums.
ACTIVITY OUTLINE:
Students will have the opportunity to hear Krys read from her highly engaging and informative picture book Camp Canberra, as well as ask her questions. As part of this experience we will connect with some of the museums across the National Capital including the Parliamentary Education Office, National Portrait Gallery and Museum of Australian Democracy to explore objects, artworks and spaces.
This is a fantastic hook into exploring Civics and Citizenship.
