]]> We’re sure you’ll enjoy this audio from a young early Primary School student, about what he is doing with his Honey Ant Reader writing books. We’re very impressed by his interviewing skills, and know that he has a great future ahead of him! In fact, we look forward to reading his first novel one day!
His mother who sent us the file says: “I have attached an audio file of my son talking about the books and what he likes about them. I hope it is useful to show other children how useful the books have been to him. The books are a fixture in our family, the honey ant book comes out every night at homework time, and he is very proud of the record of his work (writing and drawing) he now has. Thanks again Margaret for such useful products. “

Marjorie Nyunga Williams’ reconciliation painting

Cultural Elder Marjorie Nyunga Williams created this beautiful artwork entitled: Yanangu Waltja Tjutangku Nintini Pipirri Tjuta.(Luritja) The English title she gave it is: ‘Both Ways Languages and Culture’.

It depicts working together to teach our kids ‘both ways’ through meaningful collaboration.
Marjorie describes the painting, “Elders and families sitting in a circle, learning the kids, Aboriginal way. The Honey Ant Readers books are in the circle so that the Elder can read out the book, and share the book. They are learning the kids to read. After that the kids can read.” The HARs are shown to be embedded in the culture of the learners.
