The beginning of Term 3 has been a very busy time in kinder. We have celebrated Naidoc Week with Nat our Aboriginal Education Worker and Ms Field where we made clapping sticks and contributed to the sea of hands display.  The Kinders were curious about learning about Aboriginal culture, and we began using the 8 Aboriginal Ways of Learning by using our clapping sticks to learn language through music.

Our investigation grew as the kinders wondered about Aboriginal art. We explored making paint from crushing ochre and painting bark that we found in the playground. They were delighted after reading a dreamtime story “How the birds got their colours” and were excited when they spotted the colourful parrots that live in the trees outside.
