Hello, Year 1! Today, we're going to go on a special journey to learn about some brave people in Australia who wanted to make the world a better place for everyone. Are you ready?
Let’s start our day by imagining we are travelling on a big bus! The bus is filled with our friends, the Freedom Riders from a long time ago. They decided to go on a ride to help people understand that everyone deserves to be treated equally, no matter what their skin colour is.
Now, let’s grab some coloured pencils and a big piece of paper. We are going to create our own map of Australia! We will mark important places where the Freedom Rides happened.
Start with the State of New South Wales! This is where the Freedom Rides began. Can you draw a big circle around it?
Next, draw a bus on our map! How many people do you think can fit on the bus? Write that number inside the circle you just made.
Now, let's sit down in a circle and share our thoughts!
After our discussion, we’ll make a poster that shows what we've learned today about equality and friendship—just like the Freedom Riders!
Can you think of ways you can be a good friend and help others in your world? Let's write them down on our poster!
By the end of our lesson, we will have made our map, created our posters, and shared some amazing ideas! Remember, just like the Freedom Riders, we can all make a difference by being kind and standing up for what's right!
Now, let’s get started on our exciting journey! 🎈
