Year 2s Exploring ‘Where we are in place and time’: The 6 Layers of Country

As part of our Year 2 Inquiry into ‘Where we are in place and time’, we have been exploring the concept of belonging and connection. An important part of our inquiry was learning about our First Nations People and the significance of Connection to Country and place.

After learning what Country is, we watched a video explaining the 6 layers of Country and what each includes:

• Tharangalk Biik (Star Country)
• Wurru Wurru Biik (Sky Country)
• Murnmut-Biik (Wind Country)
• Bannj-Biik (Water Country)
• Biik-dui (On Country) 
• Biik-ut (Below Country)

We displayed our learning in a poster of the 6 Layers of Wurundjeri Country!
