A CRANBOURNE child care centre educated its children on Australia’s Indigenous heritage for National Reconciliation week.
Clarendon Street Child Care Centre director Janine Morris said children learnt about “building positive, respectful relations between the broader Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people while recognising the Elders of the land”.
In appreciation of Australia’s natural surroundings children collected leaves, gumnuts, bark and branches from fallen debris for use in creating Indigenous artwork.
Children took part in sand drawings, painting with grasses, bark paintings and collage pasting.
National Reconciliation week ran from Friday 27 May to Friday 3 June.
