A variety of interactive sports, music, and drama ensured those participating were keep busy and warm in the Motueka Recreation Centre. Lee Corlett ran a challenging obstacle course while Matt and the team from Sport Tasman introduced a fast and furious battleships game to the mix. Classic classroom sing-a-longs were bellowed out upstairs with Kath Bee, and Cindus Colonna effectively captured the imaginations of those participating in her drama workshops. Complementing the line up was a DHB supported healthy eating workshop where kids were taught how to prepare tasty fruit kebabs and vege wraps after being educated on sugar content in common foods and drinks. Meanwhile, across town at the Motueka Memorial Hall, the other half of the programme was being treated to a pantomine screening of Cinderella as performed by Kidztheatre Production Crew from Golden Bay. Colourful costumes, music and audience participation were all part of this rollicking slapstick comedy and the show was enjoyed by all. The Tasman District and Nelson City Councils and the OSCAR Foundation would like to thank all workshop facilitators for providing fun and enjoyable activities, and to those holiday programmes present for providing their kids with the opportunity to participate and continue on in the legacy of the Big Day Out. Healthly snacks all round. Sing-a-longs with Kath Bee. All ready to go. BOREDOM BUSTERS spring 2008 big day out A Cinderella story. Conquering the bouncy slide. Drama queens (and kings).
