Week 7

Week 7 was a week I had been looking forward to for a while as this was when we were beginning our placement. I was very excited about this as I would finally be able to interact with children, which is my reasoning behind wanting to become a teacher. The placement is a very different concept which I really enjoy,  it is revolved around the things we are learning in class about aboriginal culture, land and nature. 

The aim of the play group is to steer children to play with the involvement of nature instead of using materialistic things. We got the children do things such as, making angels out of leaves, painting with sticks instead of paintbrushes and collecting then sorting sticks, leaves and rocks. 

After witnessing the children get involved with this kind of learning it makes me become more motivated to engage with the learning in class as the future students that I will teach will enjoy this type of learning.
