Art Gallery Trip with Mawson Lakes Joey Mob

On Sunday 6th November, Akela and I went with the Joeys into Adelaide, so we could do some activities at the Adelaide Art Gallery.

We met at Mawson Lakes Interchange at 10:45am and caught the 11:02 train into town. From there, we headed along North Terrace to the Art Gallery. As we walked along North Terrace, one of the Joeys noticed the white crosses and red poppies in preparation for Remembrance Day on Friday.  

 We had a few minutes early, but that was a good chance to get ready for the 1st activity.

The first activity we did was the talk of the pictures hanging in the art gallery. It was aimed at the Joey’s age group and the lady was very good and held the children’s attention. While this was happening, we also had another lady come around and provide the Joeys with a chance to take part in a Muppet skit. It was quite good and the Joeys really enjoyed playing with the Muppets.


From there, the Joeys went into the art activity and made wall hangings. Some of them were very well done and the Joeys were very happy to take them home.

From there, the Joeys had lunch and a visit around the Museum next door to the Art Gallery. Once that was done, it was time to head home. The Joeys certainly had a good day, as did the parents. It is certainly something that the Joey Mob will be doing something again.
