January
Year 2 Art Club – Oakhill Drive Public School This month’s community language is Albanian
Unity is Strength
Students explored the quote by Mattie Stepanek, to consider how they could produce individual artwork which could be combined to create a masterpiece. They used watercolour paints to paint and trace
their hands, adding personal symbols to show their diversity. In the resulting artwork, each hand is unique but collectively they have created a beautiful strong peacock.

Ngurumbi is one of the six seasons, the cold season when the Wiradjuri
traditionally pulled their possum skin cloaks close around them, showing the
patterns etched into the hide with hot sticks. This is the time of cold rains and
snow on the mountains. The rivers are low in water level but they are rising.
During Murruwa the west wind comes. It is the hardest time to obtain food,
so animals that are hibernating underground are dug out. People move camp

The Wiradjuri do not name the days of the week, instead acknowledging
cycles of the sun, the moon and the stars. Yiradhu is daytime, Malaa is night.

Nula (Here, There, Everywhere) derives its name from the Dharug language of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation – the land on which Ashfield Public School lies. It is an illuminated
