At The News, we like to get out and about to see what the young people in our community get up to.

On Monday, May 13, Toolamba Kindergarten welcomed Occupational Therapist Danae Bennett from Thrive Group.

They ran activities called ‘finger gyms’ for the children to teach them some fine motor skills.

News photographer Rechelle Zammit went along to capture the youngsters in action.
