Lecture name: Basil Bryne Study block: Block 4, semester 1,2021. en-us 2021-06-21 12:16:01 UTC 2024-10-24 19:54:40 UTC hello@padlet.com giahan141224 https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1617532970 On my Country walk to Footscray Park, I kept in mind of "Dadirri", that means deep listening to engage all my senses with the place to hear different sound to both human and non - human. I recored that sounds to show it for the children. I could hear the birds were chirping, the wind was howling, the leaves were rustling, the river was burbling and the sound from the footsteps of people. I wondered if the birds were singing as I could hear they made a musical sound. I came up with an idea that the birds composed a song for the Winter. It related to Victor's speech as he said "music as a language". 
I believe that it will help children to be more mindful and more tuned to nature. When the children really listen to the sounds, they will realise how much they can notice when they pay attention. It is a good opportunity for them to know that there are more than human at every place. According to Catherine Hamm, “it is possible to pay attention to the land in different way”. When I came to this place with “different me” by thinking different way helped me to understand about the places where I live, the essential role of each thing and pay attention in everything, not just the view. By doing this, I could pay my respect to Aboriginal creations, traditions and provide an opportunity to place the Kulin nation’s knowledge in the centre of understanding.
I wondered what sounds that children could hear from my record? ]]> 2021-06-21 12:19:29 UTC https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1617532970 giahan141224 https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1617535354 In this activity, I let children listen to the sound that I recorded on my Country walk. Children are provided a paper and crayons to draw what sounds that they could hear. This activity will help to children to improve their deep listening skill, encourage curiosity and creative thinking. ]]> 2021-06-21 12:21:29 UTC https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1617535354 giahan141224 https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1617542415 2021-06-21 12:26:49 UTC https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1617542415 giahan141224 https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1617543359 The first part of this activity is going to the park and collect natural materials. Walking through green spaces can create the calmness needed for reflection that would help their creativity can flourish. It means it is not only good  for their body movement, it is also helpful for their brain. Moreover, it also a good connection between children and the community as it would teach children about respect. When we pick up the natural materials, we gather only thing that won't bother people and won't harm the environment, such as fallen leaves, twigs, etc from the footpath.
 
Secondly, when we use the natural materials for painting, it would inspire creativity as they don't have any instructions to follow. Especially, it's good for the environment as children creating by using natural materials, they would learn about a good way to help our planet in recycling. ]]> 2021-06-21 12:27:37 UTC https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1617543359 giahan141224 https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1617543708 I wondered if anyone have a love of music and nature? I have both of them. That why I chose to make some musical instrument from the natural materials from my Country walk.
Exploring different kind of sounds from the instrument is the good way to help children notice small details. We might only pay more attention to the colour of the flowers, the shape of the leaves or the texture of the stones. But have you ever noticed that those things can make their own sound?  The world that we are living is marvelous place. I believe that will help children to build their relationship with the community. 
I made the rainstick bottle as when I was on my Country walk, it was raining. By listening to the rain deeply, I could feel it is not stormy as I think. Sometimes, raining makes me feel sad but I just realise that raining also can be a good way to calm myself. By looking at Aboriginal perspective, rain stick were used by indigenous farming tribes and arid climates with the hopes of calling for rain for their crops. 
There is no right or wrong in creating their own songs, it is more about to help children explore the gifts from their Country. ]]> 2021-06-21 12:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1617543708 giahan141224 https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1617544003 In this activity, I asked children to go for a walk for natural material hunt. By walking to our local park, we will talk about the nature, the weather and non-human. Besides collecting natural materials, I also ask children about "What can you see?", "What can you smell?", "What can you hear and feel?". After collecting, children will use the natural materials for their art activity. 
It promotes their physical development by being physically active to burn their calories and enhance overall fitness. Children also develop their gross motor skill and fine motor skill. ]]> 2021-06-21 12:28:04 UTC https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1617544003 giahan141224 https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1617545631 In this activity, children will be provided different musical instrument that I made from the natural materials that I collected from my Country walk. Children will have a chance to make choice on which instrument they want to do their performance. Children are given the opportunity to assist them in understanding the concept of rhythm, tempo and the overall concept of musicality. It will help them in building confidence, self expression and the willingness to try something new.]]> 2021-06-21 12:29:16 UTC https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1617545631 giahan141224 https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1619270576 2021-06-22 08:14:12 UTC https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1619270576 giahan141224 https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1619426907 2021-06-22 10:53:20 UTC https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1619426907 giahan141224 https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1621658078 After implementing my micro-teaching, I had a lot of feelings. First, I am so happy to have a chance to improve my skill in planning experience for the children. Working in a group helped me to be able to learn from other friends and build my confidence as a Pre service Teacher. 
The most interesting thing that I love in my activities is exploring different kind of sounds from the nature. Before that, I haven't thought about sounds or using my deep listening skill. Moreover, I also love the way that I could be creative to develop my ideas. 
In the future, I would like to improve more about the process in planning activities for children. I also would like to investigate more about "What music was used for from an Aboriginal perspective?". ]]> 2021-06-23 13:22:58 UTC https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1621658078 giahan141224 https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1621685711 2021-06-23 13:37:44 UTC https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1621685711 giahan141224 https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1621686748 2021-06-23 13:38:15 UTC https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1621686748 giahan141224 https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1621696538 2021-06-23 13:43:34 UTC https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1621696538 giahan141224 https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1621702326 2021-06-23 13:46:44 UTC https://padlet.com/giahan141224/731f1kr5xse8x0r8/wish/1621702326
