Octonauts Storytelling and Craft

Join us for a special tale about the Octonauts crew and their travels to the Great Reef City. Then, using recyclable paper-based materials, create your own colourful, 3D coral reef relief whilst learning about the amazing role they play in supporting marine life and the impact of coral bleaching.

About the book
The Octonauts are a crew of cute animals who love to explore the big blue ocean. From their underwater base, the Octopod, the eight intrepid friends are always ready for fun and excitement!

When the Octonauts go on holiday to the Great Reef City, they’re shocked to discover that the brightly-coloured coral reef has turned white. Whatever can have happened? And is it true that the Great Reef City is haunted? It’s up to the Octonauts to solve the mystery and save the reef!

An action-packed underwater adventure to delight Octonauts fans!

About the storyteller, Emily
Emily has been telling stories since she was very small. She grew up believing there were fairies in the forest, selkies in the sea and banshees at the banquet. As the child of Irish parents, Emily has a rich background in folk tales, myths, ballads and poems, and a fascination with the ancient art of oral storytelling.

Emily has been performing to children and adults in schools, libraries and museums, at festivals, community events and private functions for educational projects for 20 years. Everyone has a story to tell, and she love sharing stories and learning from their wisdom.
