I respectively acknowledge the Australian aboriginal community as the traditional owners of this land, I pay my respect to Wurundjeri people and all elders of Kulin Nation in past and present for allowing us to do study and work on this land. I also pay respect to sea, trees, soil and whole land as I recognise the deep connection of aboriginal people and first nation people with them, and I also committed to use their practices at my work with our young children.

As I noticed the sounds and movements in that place. my experience to the reserve was a remarkable encounter with nature. I was fascinated by the sounds that surrounded me and allowed me to engage all my senses and appreciate the beauty of nature in different ways.
The birds chirping blended well with the rustling of the leaves, and the sounds of raindrops falling provided a rhythmic beat to the composition. " its the springtime of my loving the second season I am to know so little warmth I have felt before, I watched the trees that grew so tall". The birds singing outside loud and sweet shows the bond between nature and humanity. their sweet voices were telling each other to come out and enjoy. all this have brought to my mind the way I spent my childhood with my siblings going out in the rain singing and hiding and playing has brought all my memories back.
In the class resources Chapter 1 of Wilson's Nature and young Children, I learned that nature play is essential for children's physical, cognitive and emotional development.]]> 2023-09-08 05:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/prernasharma21/1rmjkmg1h1nlieol/wish/2690112627 prernasharma21 https://padlet.com/prernasharma21/1rmjkmg1h1nlieol/wish/2690447200 During my walk I was charmed by the beautiful artwork of Mother bird display of wood with baby birdies. around them making them feeling safe and secure. The leaves were moving gracefully in a smooth and controlled way which is attractive to watch the trees were dancing felt like they were talking to each other and they will talk to us if we listen. the birds were dancing to the rhythm of the wind. and looking at the lovely statue. The wind  comes with a message which it tells to the trees. The trees might like it or not. The trees dance to the tunes which they like.
I believe there is a lot to learn from this beautiful conversation that happens between the wind and the tree. These are hard times that we are going through and nature has some good lessons to give us.
My response also connects with the academic readings. In "The Ecology of Imagination in Childhood" by David W. Orr, I learned about the importance of nature play in promoting creativity and imagination. My experience and response show how nature play can inspire creativity and allow individuals to express themselves in unique ways.
also based on class resources "Nature and young children".
Nature must, therefore, be seen as an essential component of the children’s environment (Moore and Cosco, 2006).
Natural places (beach, woods, streams, etc.) not only stimulate healthy development but also provide the most playful physical environments for young children While children find ways to play anywhere with almost anything, some environments and materials are more conducive to creative play than others. for my teaching practices I will also promote more of outside activities in nature and use natural materials for them to engage with and use their imagination.

It felt that this art was representing a range of ideas including freedom, nobility and bravery. the birds high pitched voices were going around. and the tree about the size of a young person. you have beautiful green leaves. birds are coming and going sitting on its branches. they are laughing and singing. then all of the sudden "the birds" was slowly pecked away by the passing crows. 
Additionally, the unit's resources on drama and sound helped me understand how to use drama as a language to express emotions, ideas, and experiences. I learned how to arrange different sounds in a pleasing order to make a cohesive piece and create a musical composition. This knowledge helped me in creating the soundscape and allowed me to express my encounter with nature in a unique way.
I will plan to incorporate activities into my routine with my children which may include imaginative play or doing some games like drama game such as traffic lights or creating miming games and more.
