Celebrating NAIDOC Week 2025 at The Learning Nook 🖤❤️💛
This week, our children immersed themselves in hands-on learning experiences to honour and celebrate First Nations culture and storytelling.
✨ We created our very own Rainbow Serpents using colourful pipe cleaners and string, inspired by the Dreamtime story of Mundagudda, a powerful spirit that shaped the rivers and landscapes of Country.
🖐 In the red dirt and clay, we drew traditional symbols and talked about their meanings in Aboriginal art and communication.
🎨 We explored the Aboriginal flag colours in painting, learning how each colour represents land, people and spirit.
🎶 And we discovered the Didgeridoo. Our educators shared the cultural practice that, traditionally, only boys play the didgeridoo, offering a respectful look at the customs passed down through generations.
Through these meaningful activities, we continue to embed cultural awareness into our everyday learning, helping children grow with empathy, respect and curiosity for the rich history of this land and its people.
