Mark Maurizi, Oliver Mai, Yamma Rammo, Nicholas Threlfo, Ashleigh Kelly, Dominic Cheuk – Year 3 – St George School.Road mapWe studied earth colours, and made paints from natural ochres. We ground the rocks sourced from the land into a powder to make ochres. We painted with these colours to show how we walk together with family, friends and school across the country we live in. We travel in a wheel chair but use a standing frame to build strength. We do all our learning and physical achievements with the assistance of others, with whom we walk together.

Years 3 & 4 Art Enrichment Students – Cammeray Public School – Our School’s Centenary - past, present and future walking together. This artwork grew from an early photograph of our school. We each sketched a section of the building then pieced the individual sections together to form the building. The students in the artwork represent the past and present looking out towards the future. Collaboratively we created a precious artwork. We learnt from one another while appreciating each individual’s approach. We walked together back in time learning about the rich history of our school.

Coming from diverse backgrounds and with varying special needs we are learning to be tolerant and caring of each other, appreciating and celebrating our individual and collective achievements – both the small steps and the giant strides. We are typical teenagers learning to celebrate life, eager to participate in different activities, sharing in fun and laughter, maturing into young adults and excited about where our individual paths will lead.

The International Decade for People of African Descent promotes respect and the protection of all human rights for people of African descent. It also proposes concrete measures to promote their full inclusion in society and to combat racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. http://www.un.org/en/events/africandescentdecade/index.shtml

2014 – 2024 United Nations Decade of Sustainable Energy for All Sustainable energy is essential for economic growth, increased social equity, and an environment that allows the world to thrive. Given that 1.2 billion people worldwide lack access to electricity, 2.8 billion people do not have clean and safe cooking facilities and sustainable energy use is imperative to protect the Earth’s climate, the Decade of Sustainable Energy has threeobjectives:toprovideuniversalenergyaccess;todoubletherateofglobalenergyefficiencyimprovement;andto double the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix. http://www.se4all.org/decade/

2011 – 2020 United Nations Decade on Biodiversity

The United Nations Decade on Biodiversity aims to build a future of living in harmony with nature and to inspire broad-based action in support of biodiversity by all countries. It aims to promote the implementation of three objectives: conservation of biodiversity; sustainable use of biodiversity; fair and

equitablesharingofthebenefitsarisingfromtheuseofgeneticresources.http://www.cbd.int/2011-2020/

2011 – 2020 United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety

The United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020 aims to reduce road deaths and injuries across the world. Nearly 1.3 million people die every year on the world’s roads, and up to 50 million are injured. http://www.un.org/en/roadsafety/

2010–2020UnitedNationsDecadeforDesertsandtheFightagainstDesertification

TheDecadeforDesertsandDesertificationaimstoraiseawarenessaboutdesertification,landdegradationanddroughtandtheirsolutions.With climate change drought will emerge in new areas, making them more vulnerable to degradation, while areas already prone to drought will suffer more frequent and intense droughts. Poverty in the arid areas hinders ongoing efforts to recover degraded land. http://www.un.org/en/events/desertification_decade/

2008 – 2017 Second United Nations Decade for the Eradication of Poverty Eradicating poverty is the greatest challenge facing the world. It is the core requirement for sustainable development especially for developing countries. The theme for the Second Decade for the Eradication of Poverty is ‘Full Employment and Decent Work for All’. http://undesadspd.org/

2016 International Year of Camelids The International Year of Camelids aims to raise awareness of the economic and cultural importance of camelids in the lives of the people living in the areas where they are domesticated and used as a source of food and wool and as pack animals. There are six species of camelids: dromedary camels, bactrian camels, llamas, alpacas, vicuñas and guanacos.Camelidsarestrictlyherbivorous,even-toedungulatemammalsthatfirstappearedinAmerica45millionyears ago. Camels were imported into Australia between 1840 and 1907 to open up the arid remote areas of central and western Australia. By 1930 they were no longer needed and many were released into the bush. Australia now has the only herd of feral camels in the world.

2016 International Year of Pulses http://www.un.org/waterforlifedecade/waterforlifeaward.shtmlThe International Year of Pulses aims to heighten public awareness of the nutritionalbenefitsofpulsesaspartofsustainablefoodproductionaimedtowards food security and nutrition. Pulses such as lentils, dry beans, dry peas and chickpeas are a vital source of plant-based proteins and amino acids for people around the globe and should be eaten as part of a healthy

diet to address obesity, as well as to prevent and help manage chronic diseases such as diabetes, coronary conditions and cancer. http://www.fao.org/pulses-2016/en/ InAustraliathenationalorganisation,PulseAustralia,willfocusonraisingAustralia’sprofileasaproducerofqualitypulses while promoting the increase of domestic consumption of pulses to meet the Grains & Legumes Nutrition Council’s recommendation for all Australians to ‘eat legumes at least 2–3 times a week’. http://www.pulseaus.com.au/

Although some of these are still spoken today, many have gone underground or are in danger of disappearing. In NSW there were more than 70 Aboriginal languages spoken.

19 February 2016 – The Lunar Calendar and Year of the Monkey and the Tasmanian Devil

1920 1932 1944 1956 1968 1980 1992 2004 2016 2028

TheLunarNewYear4714willbecelebratedon8February2016.ItsignifiesXinNian,theChineseNewYear,andalso Solnal, the Korean New Year, and Tết, the Vietnamese New Year. This date is based on the traditional Chinese Agricultural Calendar which is lunisolar, primarily lunar but partially solar, guided by the movement of the moon as well as the sun and commonly called the lunar calendar.

The Chinese lunar calendar is associated with the Chinese zodiac, which has 12 animal signs: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. Each animal represents a year in a 12 year cycle, beginning on Lunar New Year’s Day. There are many legends concerning the choice and order of the animals and their characteristics which are said to be imparted to people born in their year. The Australian Chinese Zodiac, developed by the Chinese Precinct Chamber of Commerce, matches the monkey to a Tasmanian devil on the basis of their perceived similar characteristics:

Monkeys are erratic, clever, skilful and agile. They are able to overcome obstacles. They want to do things now.

Tasmanian devils are equally clever and skilful and are extremely adaptive.
