I can see the blue skies, the clouds, the green grass, the greenery on the trees, hearing the birds chirping, water flowing, trees falling, the bridge creaking, down the river, the grass moving. As I am walking through the reserve I can feel the damp grass, from the cold morning earlier on, feel the hard concrete and the timber pieces of wood as I'm taking further steps]]> 2023-05-13 02:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mareepapageorgiou1/dsr5pu9vpu1ktjv6/wish/2589270681 Reference List mareepapageorgiou1 https://padlet.com/mareepapageorgiou1/dsr5pu9vpu1ktjv6/wish/2590593428 - Ungumerr-Baumann.

Recording my artefact and recording my poem really made me connect to Dadirri, as this exercise really made me feel “whole again,”it allows me to listen and find “peace through silent awareness”, (Ungunmerr-Bauman, 2023). It really made me feel more aware and realise the sounds that occur around me. Music, movement and drama are all important aspects as they can all be used in different ways. In given time we learn how children are able to learn, understand and respond. Things like clapping, moving the body, stomping feet which are all movements that I use in my everyday work life is an indidcator that children are starting to love music. Creating an environment where music, movement and drama is extremely important in early childhood. It allows children to learn and connect to what they are hearing to what they are learning. ]]> 2023-05-15 03:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mareepapageorgiou1/dsr5pu9vpu1ktjv6/wish/2590606062 CREATIVE RESPONSE POEM mareepapageorgiou1 https://padlet.com/mareepapageorgiou1/dsr5pu9vpu1ktjv6/wish/2592766774 She walks through the park, under the bright blue skies, 
Where we walk through the green grass and leaves to find the brown Yarra River,
We see ducks and birds drinking the water 
Even snakes through the autumn leaves
Only to realise the birds will fly away when the slight waves hit the rocks, 
We then approach a bridge 
With numerous people and cyclists
To only hear 
Ding Ding 
To alert people to walk to the side of the swinging bridge 
As we walk the other side of the bridge we find 
Wombat playground where we find the children playing 
Before the day gets dark
Water fountains and benches are all around us
