21.01.2022 NAIDOC WEEK Always Was, Always Will Be. NAIDOC week acknowledges that hundreds of Nations and our cultures covered this continent. All were managing the land - the biggest estate on earth - to sustainably provide for their future.... Through ingenious land management systems like fire stick farming innovators from different cultures transformed the harshest habitable continent into a land of bounty. NAIDOC Week 2020 acknowledges and celebrates that Australia's story didn’t begin with documented European contact whether in 1770 or 1606 - with the arrival of the Dutch and other explorers. The very first footprints on this continent were those belonging to First Nations peoples. Thank you Twinkl Australia Twinkl Resources for the beautiful Aboriginal Art worksheets which we can use during this week to acknowledge the contributions of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait peoples in the colourful history and heritage of Australia. This week is also National Psychology Week. The mindfulness colouring pages tie in so well with our Kip McGrath Sandgate focus on mental health and Men's Health, Movember Australia. #upstairsatkip #learnersupport #kipmcgrathsandgate #serving4017 #NAIDOCWeek2020 #NAIDOC #alwayswasalwayswillbeaboriginalland #alwayswasalwayswillbe #colouringin #nationalpsychologyweek #mindfulness #MindfulMonday

14.01.2022 We have been reading all week, at Kip McGrath Sandgate ! 23 April World Book and opyrightDay... In 1995, UNESCO decided to celebrate April 23 as World Book and Copyright Day, and since then, the date has prominence in the history of literature. Why April 23? April 23 is a symbolic date for world literature because on this day in 1616 Cervantes, Shakespeare, and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega all died. The day also marks the death and birth anniversary of many other prominent authors, such as Maurice Druon, Haldor K.Laxness, Vladimir Nabokov, Josep Pla, and Manuel Mejía Vallejo. The date was therefore an obvious choice to celebrate World Book Day worldwide. As a celebration of this year's World Book and Copyright Day , UNESCO created a 'Bookface' challenge". Book covers are incredibly important and play a vital role in our buying decisions. We’re all extremely judgemental about covers, even though we should "not judge a book by it's cover"! . The pandemic has also reminded us all of the importance of books and reading for comfort and escapism. Let your imagination meet your book covers! Take a picture of yourself with a book cover (or a page of a book) so that it blends into your reality. Send your photos to [email protected] and tag us at Kip Mcgrath Education Centre Sandgate Even though today is also English Day, take photos in as many languages as possible! What is on your bookshelf? Share a picture of your favourite titles with us. Take an interesting Bookface picture and just enjoy reading together or to someone who is unable to read. #upstairsatkip #kipmcgrath #books #readtogether #readtome #readwithme #stories #worldbookday #WorldCopyrightDay

03.01.2022 World Creativity and Innovation Day Today is a global UN day celebrated to raise awareness around the importance of creativity and innovation in problem-solving with respect to advancing the United Nations sustainable development goals. The overall purpose is to free up, ... encourage and remind people to use their creativity (generating new ideas, making new decisions, taking new actions and achieving new outcomes) for innovation that makes the world a better place. What can you do today? Take a walk in the forest. The practice of Forest Bathingsimply being in the presence of treesoriginated in Japan in the 1980s, and has been shown to have many health benefits. Take a walk in a labyrinth. Labyrinths are tools for personal, psychological and spiritual transformation, also thought to enhance right-brain activity. Do something you haven’t done before: Try a new flavour of ice cream, check out a new restaurant, or visit a new museum or art exhibit. Making a habit of doing something out of the ordinary; even walking around the block in the opposite direction to how you normally do it can shake things up and improve creativity. Take a nap! Taking time to recharge is a great way to encourage incubation of ideas. Read a book and share the book with your friends. Talk about what could have been a different twist or ending. Today is an awareness day but please don't forget tomorrow that you are still a creative and inspired being who can come up with new, better ways and things to make life more enjoyable, fun, healthy, functional and captivating. #upstairsatkip #kipmcgrathsandgate #sandgate #serving4017 #learnersupport #worldinnovationday #worldcreativityandinnovationday #un #innovation #creative #bethechange

02.01.2022 World Kindness Day during Movember! Kindness has a beautiful way of reaching down into a weary heart and making it shine like the rising sun. Ah, kindness. What a simple way to tell another struggling soul that there is love to be found in the world.' -Alison Malee... This Friday the 13th marks the end of Psychology Week and the last day of our Kip McGrath Sandgate Movember celebration in awareness and support of Men's Health. Our Kip Kids are sweet beyond words.

01.01.2022 Remembrance Day 1111 1918 November 11 Armistice Day: World War I ends... At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the Great War ends. At 5 a.m. that morning, Germany, bereft of manpower and supplies and faced with imminent invasion, signed an armistice (truce) agreement with the Allies in a railroad car outside Compiégne, France. The First World War left nine million soldiers dead and 21 million wounded, with Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary, France and Great Britain each losing nearly a million or more lives. In addition, at least five million civilians died from disease, starvation, or exposure. It was a significant world event and not a joyful one. Let's talk about it. World War I (or the First World War) was a global war originating in Europe. It lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918. The war is also known as the Great War or "the war to end all wars", which led to the mobilisation of more than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, making it one of the largest wars in history. Remembrance Day in Australia is dedicated to Australians who died as a result of war, particularly from World War I onwards. Anzac Day is a day for commemoration, for thanking the veterans and it's also part of our national story. Remembrance Day, on the other hand, is solely about remembrance. It's solely about remembering those 102,800 Australians who have given their lives for a bid for peace. #upstairsatkip #learnersupport #kipmcgrathsandgate #serving4017 #remembranceday2020 #RemembranceDay #poppies #ww1 #truce #Treaty #armisticeday #armistice #peace
