Special artwork at 5 Lands Walk

The children collected sticks and leaves to complement their work

Children from Nido Early School at Tuggerah have created some very special artworks to be exhibited in conjunction with the 5 Lands Walk on Saturday, June 24.

Nido’s Curriculum Leader Krystle Loizides reached out to Kristy Higgins, who teaches Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture in a local high school, to visit the school and help the children in creating an exhibition.

On April 19, Higgins explained to the children the First Nations, the 5 Lands Walk and the exciting art piece they would be invited to create.

The children at work on their art

Each of the children was provided with a piece of bunting as well as pencils, textas, crayons and paints to create a piece of artwork.

Under supervision, they ventured off into the local community to collect natural resources such as sticks and leaves to help create their individualized artworks.

The collaborative bunting exhibition will be on display at the railings of the finish line for the 5 Lands Walk at Terrigal beach on June 24.
