Year 3

Literacy – our Dreaming

Goodjagah, little one, walk with me … I want to tell you our Dreaming as the Elders told it to me.

This term, Year 3 students have been delving into Our Dreaming by Kirli Saunders, a rich and heartwarming text that celebrates First Nations culture and storytelling. Through our exploration, we’ve deepened our understanding of how Dreaming Stories express a spiritual connection to Country and how Elders share this wisdom with younger generations through oral traditions.

We’ve also had the opportunity to learn words from the Gandangara language featured in the book. This has helped us appreciate the deep cultural ties and cherished memories that connect the Gandangara people to their land.
