Week 5

This week instead of attending our lectures and tutorials we were given time to attend the Bunjilaka exhibit at the Melbourne Museum. A few of my fellow classmates and I arranged to meet up to complete the task together. On the Monday morning I caught the train into the city and got off at Parliament Station and from there it was about a 10 minute walk to the museum. The weather was perfect so off I went on my walk. Usually when I am walking from place to place I never take in my surroundings, I just think about how much further I have to walk until I can get a break. But since beginning this course I have learnt to appreciate and think about my surroundings, on my walk to the museum I took a short cut through a park that was full of trees and beautiful grass land, although in the center of it the museum was placed and as I was strolling along I began to think back and wonder what this land was like before human citizenship, because even though it was gorgeous it had been tampered with by humans. This thinking for me was really unexpected but very welcomed as it means that I am learning and beginning understand the concepts in relation to Play, development and learning as well as History and Philosophy of Early Childhood Education.
