Marang ngarin (Good Morning).
We have been enjoying our time with Auntie Gail and Uncle Malcolm learning some key words, phrases and songs in Wiradjuri. The children certainly pick it up very quickly (better than the educators!). Our aim is for all of us to learn this nearly lost language so we can all use it everyday in our preschool. The educators have also been enjoying the learning experience and are feeling more confident to use the Wiradjuri words they have learnt more often.
We have more projects underway to support the children and educators to use Wiradjuri language more regularly in the preschool coming in Term 4.
We have also been implementing some social skills lessons to support children to problem solve in their play and how to cope when play does not go their way. There are many resources that we use at Bimbi to support these skills, which we can share with you, if you would also like to use these strategies at home.
