In Grade 1 we celebrated NAIDOC Week on our first day back at school after the holidays. We watched a video where Christine Anu answered kids' questions about NAIDOC Week. We then listened to her song, ‘Island Home’. As a class, we then discussed the theme for this year, ‘Get Up, Stand Up, Show Up.’ We brainstormed ways that we can celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. Students then created their own flower heart and copied down some of the ideas that we brainstormed. 

Ideas that students came up with:

• Celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures every day
• Treat others fairly and with respect
• Be nice to everyone
