🔍 Kindergarten Geographers 🔎 Kindy had a marvelous, (and tiring!) walking excursion to the Hawkesbury museum last week. They have been exploring the places they live in and belong to. Their visit to the museum helped them to develop an understanding of what makes the Hawkesbury special and how this may differ for different people. They had a special focus on the traditional owners of the land, the Darug people. Thanks to the Hawkesbury Regional Museum for supporting our learners.
