Celebrating the Noongar Season of Makuru
At The Atlantis Group, our long-term collaborative research into the sixNoongar Seasons allows us to investigate and celebrate each season throughdifferent mediums.
For Makuru, our chosen medium waswoodworking.
Woodworking is an incredible way tointegrate STEM learning into our services. It offers numerous benefits forchildren, including:
• Fine-motor skills and hand-eyecoordination are honed through activities such as securing screws andhammering.
• Creativity and imagination arenurtured during the design and construction phases.
• Woodworking is a powerful mediumfor building self-esteem. Children feel empowered and valued by being trustedto work with real tools.
We are proud to embed Indigenousseasons, awareness and cultural learning into our programming across all ourservices. The children were highly engaged and thoroughly enjoyed all thewoodworking activities. Celebrating the Noongar Seasons and Makuru has been arewarding experience for everyone involved!
