✨ On the 4th August we celebrated National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day. ✨
Throughout the day, the children came together to learn about the significance of this special day. During our group discussion, we explored why National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day is celebrated and learnt that, in the past, some Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people did not have their births officially recorded, meaning they didn’t always know the exact date of their birthday. This day is an opportunity to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children while honouring their identities, cultures, families and communities.
To celebrate, the children enjoyed baking cupcakes for a special afternoon tea before coming together for a birthday party. We played a fun game of pass the parcel, sang Happy Birthday to celebrate all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, shared our Acknowledgement of Country, and enjoyed our freshly baked cupcakes together.
It was a wonderful way of learning, celebration and connection, providing meaningful opportunities for the children to develop an appreciation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures while strengthening their sense of belonging, respect and community.
