NAIDOC week is an important event that celebrates the traditional aboriginal culture and shedding light into the depths of our land’s history. All the children love to learn about the indigenous ways of life and a recap of this week follows as:
Day one: exploring the art of dot painting and creating masterpieces using natural recourses such as leaves and shells. We learnt that dot painting is to conceal their sacred designs which are used in for traditional ceremonies.
Day two: Designed our very own didgeridoos and discovered how didgeridoos are used and there origination.
Day three: The children read a book, “backyard birds” which we saw traditional birds in an indigenous art style.
Day four: We re-used a cardboard tube box to paint the rainbow serpent along with two boomerangs and small animals.

Over this entire week children practised their fine motor skills, understanding of aboriginal history and developed a stronger vocabulary.
But most importantly, the children had heaps of fun!
