Last week we celebrated NAIDOC day at out school. It's a huge week for us full of activities and teaching moments. We ate kangaroo tail and witchetty grubs along side roast for our big dinner.
I and friend were in charge of getting everyone a t-shirt that fit them and then they screen printed on it.
For the primary students we used a design that I had pre-cut - I was so sick of that by the end of the week.
The high schoolers designed their own and prepared the screen, before printing.
Some of my students made me this one. The symbol represents two waterholes connected by running water, the foot prints show that the person crossed it.
The scarf was one that I bought from Thailand. We ate a lot of curry and some awesome dishes but we didn't get to eat anything exotic. I really wish we had, because I got Thailand tummy anyway - at least I could have said it was eating something gross. What's the grossest/exotic thing you have eaten?
I must remember to wear red next week!

I went to Africa on my honeymoon and I ate insects (mopane worms I think?), plus crocodile, impala, snake and warthog.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of the t shirts but I can see you'd be exhausted by the end of it!
You have no idea how exhausted! Wow your list sounds great, I've eaten crocodile and feral pig which is sort of but not the same as warthog lol. And how wonderful having your honeymoon in Africa!
Deletenice outfit and very cool tee. It would be fun to brainstorm a tee design and then watch it come into fruition, i did a bit of screen printing in high school and it is always fun :D The scarf is lovely too.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for the comment. The kids had a great time - and they made some awesome prints.
DeleteI love all the bright colours! I bet you're a heaps fun teacher :) I am so lucky, i've spent a lot of time in south east asia and never been sick once. Well, unless you count that time a drank a bottle of Laos Whiskey by myself. :)
ReplyDeleteLucky you and thank you for the comment :) I love teaching, and I hate boring lessons, so my kids are pretty a lucky lot - I think so anyway!
