YAY YAY!!

YAY for Delia and Grace :P

Last year, I did a fantastic unit of work with another teacher at Borroloola, Delia Farlam about the McArthur River.

We investigated how it is connect with the students’ lives. We did lots of cool stuff, like scooping out bugs from the river, making murals about the dreamtime stories about the river etc, trapping mammals (we had permits) and entering the students experiences into a photostory comp. ( I think we won? I should check on this.. :P)

BUT!! why it is YAY -takes a deep breath- WE WON an award for an outstanding environmental education program :) so Borroloola won $1000 plus a trophy.. I am working out how to get hold of a certificate to go in my CV.

Well that's my yay! for today :P

take care!
