Just as time passes and the seasons change and the ecology of nature follows its flow, this road I pass every day will also change its appearance throughout the four seasons without me noticing it. My morning always starts busy, and on the way to work, I also walk fast without time to look around. While doing this assignment, I listened slowly and deeply on my way to work. I breathed in and out, felt the morning air and smell. I reflected on Dadirri's awareness of belonging and sense of community. Here at Wurundjeri Ground, I teach Dadirri to our children, which encourages peace, understanding, and increased awareness of our belonging.

Considering how Dadirri, along with the movement and sound of nature, applied to children's education, I will be able to apply their goals and teaching strategies from different perspectives. Base on that, as an educator will be able to gain a deeper understanding of their development process.

The environmental changes that nature provides allow our children to experience many things. As Wilson views it, nature resources and the environment provide children with educational tools to foster creativity and imagination. In spring and summer, green trees, plants and colourful flowers are full, in autumn, colourful tree leaves colour the streets. In winter, bare tree branches create different landscapes and play environments for children and plus weather changes. Nature also provides us with wonderful educational materials (resources) and thoughts through the sound of nature and the movement of nature each season.
