Tijimbat Minyerri - Wet Season 2014

Our name, Teachabout, closely aligns with the word, tijimbat, a Kriol word from the Roper River region, which means 'teach your kids about everything'.

Teachabout has a unique approach to school holiday programs. Our programs are well thought-out and expansive with a strong focus on building relationships with the kids, their families and community members. They incorporate a wide variety of activities including art projects, science experiments, cultural knowledge, drama, ICT, music, dance and sport. English literacy, numeracy and problem-solving skills are integrated across these activities and also form the focus of specific sessions.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander visitors should be aware that this website may contain images or names of people who have since passed away.

Patricia: Day 12

Hi my name is Patricia and I am 13 years old. I have been doing Teachabout for 3 years. I love basketball and also I love to hang out with my friends like Marcianne. She is my best friend and we hang out a lot in school and out in community and we hang out at the disco and we have lots of fun.

This afternoon we was doing a rocket. We had to get a bottle and a blank paper and design what you like and then we put the fins and it was ready to go. We have to put water and we pumped it up and it explode up the air like a rocket.
We had another interesting science game, it is attached to maths. Well we have two planets, one was called yellow planet and the other one was orange planet and we have to have a journey to take 6 aliens to the other planet (from yellow to orange). The ship had four seats and we put 4 by 4 and then we drive back to get the other two to join the ones on the orange planet.

Alien problem solving.
After that we went and draw our faces and then painted on the mural.

Some of the finished masterpieces.
