A chorus of Currawongs is singing in the trees and a mother duck is gathering her ducklings together, ready for a walk. All families are different and that’s what makes them special. Sometimes our friends can feel like family. What’s important is finding the people who make you feel like you can really be yourself. Who make you feel like you belong.
Today we’re visiting the Australian bush. Next to the trunk of the gum tree is a kangaroo with a joey in her pouch. The joey hops out to rummage for some food, whilst mum takes care of him. It’s important to care for others. We are all stronger when we look after one another.
Today we’re visiting a promontory. A promontory is a high stretch of land surrounded by water. In a nest there’s a family of magpies with some new babies, ready to find their voice. It’s important to find your voice so if you have something to say, people will pay attention. And when we speak, we need people to listen too. All communication must have those two parts. Someone who speaks and someone who listens. Our voices come from being heard.
Today we’re visiting an island. Up above the sand dunes, there’s a dingo howling to the sky. He’s howling to get the attention of his pack so they can help him dig a big hole. What great teamwork. Do you sometimes work together with your siblings or friends to get something done? Just like this pack of dingoes.
Let’s go on a journey to the beach, so that we can listen to the sound of birds, the wind and big waves crashing ashore. Do you sometimes have big feelings? Maybe sometimes you feel angry, or scared or sad? Big feelings are okay, everyone has them sometimes, and there are a few things that can help.
Being out in nature is a great way to relax, and when we’re outside there’s a lot to listen to and discover. All of these different things can make our minds feel busy. Sometimes when your mind feels busy, it can be good to stop, breathe and concentrate on just one thing.
The national park is full of wonderful nature noises, especially late in the day when birds are getting ready for bed. From cockatoos to rosellas, all our feathered friends are preparing for a good night’s sleep. What do you do to help yourself get ready for a nice rest?
We’re sitting by some wonderful wetlands, using our imaginations to watch finches fly, and have a gander at geese. Mother goose jumps into the water and goes under to try and find some food. And her little goslings are trying too! Do you every use your courage to try new things?
