The community and education space at the Thames School of Mines was buzzing with creativity and curious minds over the Easter school holidays.
Fun activity days themed around nature offered something for the whole whānau.
The activities included drawing nature patterns; decorating rocks for the garden with natural materials; learning how to create pigments and paint, then using this to create individual artwork; hunting through sand to find hidden treasure; and exploring the historic School of Mines, the furnace and assay room, and completing a scavenger hunt in the mineralogical museum.
The holiday programmes were available to all for a koha.
