Wattle Grove held NAIDOC week from the 27/07/2020 to the 31/07/2020. In this week Room 12 and their buddies in Pre Primary (room 9) read a traditional Indigenous story and created a character from the book.

The book the students read was "The Echidna and the Shade Tree" written by Mona Green and Pamela Lofts. The students created an echidna with wooden spikes with their buddies before reading some traditional Indigenous stories to them.

The class also participated in an incursion learning about water and its importance to Indigenous culture in Australia and the connection between Aboriginal people and the land.

Below are some pictures of the students participating in reading and making their echidnas.
