On 6 June, year 5 students equipped with a discovery booklet and a lot of enthusiasm, travelled to the city to explore and experience history and culture. The first stop of the day was the ‘Rocks Discovery Museum’, there, our students experienced up close what they had been studying in the history unit, ‘Australia as a Nation’. After exploring three floors of early Australian history and unique artefacts our students eagerly documented their findings and walked to the ‘Museum of Contemporary Art’ at Circular Quay.
At the MCA our students were exposed to artwork from various Australian artist, such as Abdul-Rahman Abdullah, Lucas Abela and Kylie Banyard. Our students appreciated, a diverse range of mediums including painting, video, sculpture, installation, drawing and performance. After a feast for the eyes our students took some time out for the traditional ice-cream stop to make their taste buds happy. While they feasted on their well-deserved treats our students enjoyed Indigenous music on the docks of the busy Circular Quay.
