Number formation\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our young learners have impressed us with their focus and fine motor skills during number formation activities. In fact, as teachers we had to do a double take, these numbers were so neat, we thought we were teaching Kindergarten again! It\u2019s wonderful to see such pride and care in their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dot paintings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We explored the traditional technique of dot painting, a distinctive style used by many Indigenous Australian communities to tell stories, convey cultural knowledge and express connection to Country. Using acrylic paints and cotton buds, we experimented with patterns, symbols and earthy colour palettes to create our own artworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
