We had a great afternoon at our beeswax wrap workshop. Great way to chat to like minded people , build awareness and grow the community. If you can hold something like this at your school or in your community, you should! We had a demo and lots of sharing about how to use them. We had a craft corner for the kids with lots of books Four stations for everyone to make two wraps. Great plastic waste free afternoon tea! #educateempower #bees #beeswax #beeswaxwraps #sustainableliving #sustainability #school #aussieteachertribe #pandc #community #parenting #children

Sick of books about bears? 🐻  Is your library shelf piling up with bears eating honey? Bears going on walks or bears getting cranky? 🍯 🐻  Then you'll love this book!  Teachers who are looking into traditional or fractures fairytales will love this book as a great springboard to encourage creativity and problem solving when it comes to bears. 🐻🍯 Can you imagine if the three bears weren't in the Goldilocks story? Would Goldilocks still eat porridge? Would the setting still be in the woods? Would there still be bears and beds and a scary ending? 🐻🍯🐻🍯 Children will love listening to the fourth wall being broken (another great lesson springboard) and wonder why bears are often chosen as a lead role.🐻🍯🐻🍯 So what did we do in our classroom with Kindergarten? Children chose to either draw a story without bears ( goldilocks and the three lemurs) or draw things bears do in stories that they don't normally do (another great lesson about anthropomorphism!!!)🐻🍯🐻🍯 You'll love this book - story and illustrations!🐻🍯🐻🍯 #anotherbookaboutbears #laurabunting #philipbunting #bears #bear #bookstagram #aussieteachertribe #teachersfollowteachers #intertextuality #literature #fairytales #read #bookreview #bookblogger

This is the perfect book to accompany next years Aussie Backyard Bird count and the perfect book to keep the love and interest in birds up!  Australian Birds by Matt Chun is a stunning book with so much information to interest the youngest of readers. Each double page spread is about a different bird of Australia. The sketches by Matt Chun are life like and the written information gives the reader information about how the bird lives, where it lives and what it can do. This book would be a perfect book for any household who loves amateur bird watching and it would fit in nicely within the school science, geography, numeracy and sustainability curriculum. Visual art teachers could also use these sketches as inspiration. We love this book - it's on high rotation at the moment in our house! #australianbirds #mattchun #birds #birdwatching #australia #australian #aussieteachertribe #sustainability #bookstagram #books4sustainability #animalconservation #art #nature #parenting #children
