Hello Everyone and welcome to Week 7.

Religion

In Religion Year 4 learnt about Reconciliation. This means lots of different things to different people. In Australia, and in our schools and early learning services, reconciliation usually means working to ensure everyone understands and values that we can learn, know, speak and be in many different ways. A large part of learning about, and working towards, reconciliation is learning about and respecting Australia’s First Peoples– Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The students to reflected on their own relationships with friends and family by asking:

What are the ingredients of a good relationship/friendship?

What makes you feel proud of yourself and those around you?

What does culture mean?

How do you celebrate culture in your life? In the lives of your friends?

We then created a poster which answered the following questions:

What does reconciliation mean to you?

How do you celebrate your culture?

How can we celebrate our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture?

What is 1 word that summarizes what Reconciliation means to you?
