Specialist Feature News: Indonesian

Selamat Siang, 

Over the last week, students have been exploring different aspects of Indonesian culture and geography! Foundation have been learning about Kuda Lumping, a stylised horse used in a dance from Java. In 1/2, students have been learning about Bali and making penjor or canang sari. 3/4 students explored places of interest using research from a variety of maps and used Woiwurrung Indigenous symbols to place it on a map of Indonesia. And finally in 5/6 students are creating skylines of Indonesia, ensuring they have researched what places, cities or buildings are being represented!

Terima Kasih,
