Talk, Read, Sing, Play!

Storytime offers a fun and interactive experience for children in their first 5 years, through talking, reading, singing and playing. We aim to foster a life-long love of stories and learning, as well as important listening and social skills.

In their first years of life your child’s brain forms over one million new connections every second. Research shows the first five years last a lifetime and that simple, everyday activities with you help to make these connections strong.

First 5 Forever Storytime is free! Join us every week to get ideas to try at home, meet other families and explore talking, reading, singing and playing with fun activities and resources.

Did you know that Halloween has been celebrated in Australia for over 150 years?
There are newspaper reports of it being celebrated in Castlemaine, Victoria, in October 1858 – that was before Aussie rules that was first played in Melbourne in 1859; NRL was founded in 1997; the Sydney Harbour Bridge opened in 1932 and Federation was in 1901.

Halloween is a holiday celebrated each year on October 31. The tradition originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. In the 8th century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honour all saints. Soon, All Saints Day incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve, and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, festive gatherings, donning costumes and eating treats.

Halloween’s origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in). The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago, mostly in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1.

This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31 they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth.
