Love the Bush Tucker Garden idea for Swansea PS! So many tasks to link to Maths content and concepts with links to local Aboriginal culture.

The BTN video is a great way of introducing the concept to students. My daughters love BTN as I'm sure many students do.

I also found the Murri Maths Connecting to Country preso very useful. This would be great to use for school staff inservices, meetings, info sessions; and for supporting the development of a bush tucker garden at the school.

Star - Love the link to Kinaesthetic learning body-hand-mind
Star - Love the way the ideas span number, measurement, geometry, such great potential for making connections across the curriculum
Wish - Oh i dont know.. more details on which fundamental movement skills? Could these be linked to Indigenous pedagogy / culture

Star - I like how many different activities you have prepared for.

Star - Growing Bush Tucker Podcast would really draw students in to the lesson.

Wish - N/A

Activity Extension Idea: Planning and Creating a Bush Tucker Garden at Swansea Public School

# data[].attributes.body
Students, together with members of the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, plan and create a Bush Tucker Garden together.

This involves some of the following acitivities:

finding and deciding on the right area and position of the garden (things to consider are area and size of garden, shade/sun position, soil conditions)

drawing a map with garden beds and paths

drawing a design of the overall look of garden

learning about the local culture and how to implement it into the design of garden

measuring the area and calculating the seize of the garden and garden beds

creating a time line for the schedule of the project

Calculating the volume of soil needed for garden beds

Deciding which native plants to use based on the local area, conditions and traditions

# data[].attributes.body
Ideas for possible cross-curriculum activities:

HSIE:

Mapping (map-making & map drawing) the bush tucker garden,

Learning about local Indigenous history and culture

PHDHPE:

Healthy eating

Food & Nutrition

Science & Technology:

Learning about plants, soil, insects, life cycle

Cooking the harvest using traditional recipes for example pickled Lili Pillies

Creative Arts:

Creating Art to display in the Bush Tucker garden

Creating visual art (such as paintings) of native plants and fruit

Establish understanding of the language and processes of counting by naming numbers in sequences, initially to and from 20, moving from any starting point (ACMNA001)

Perform fundamental movement skills in a
variety of movement sequences and situations (ACPMP025)
This could be a way to encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander family members to support the design and making of an Early Years Maths Garden. Place numbered stepping stones in
sequence around a bush tucker garden.
