Free Wriggle & Rhyme, Active Movement for Early Learning sessions are about to begin at a library near you starting Term 3 (21^st July 2010)!

Active Movement is a SPARC (Sport and Recreation NZ) initiative which aims to provide positive movement experiences to stimulate development of both the brain and the body. Each session will be based on the Active Movement set of 14 activity guides using a range of music and movement.

Libraries are working Sport Southland to provide Wriggle & Rhyme sessions across the Southland region with the focus mainly for babies from birth to two years.

Movement is a child’s first language, so it is important to provide babies with whole body movement’s right from birth. Parents and caregivers are invited to take part in these free weekly sessions at their local library, where they can also learn skills to put into practice at home.

Community libraries taking part in the Wriggle & Rhyme programme across Southland are
