Students put first things first to learn about where Australia is in the world and what the Australian flag looks like. In Tuesday’s Elective Class the students learned what a didgeridoo is. A didgeridoo an Australian Aboriginal wind instrument in the form of a long wooden tube, traditionally made from a hollow branch, which is blown to produce a deep, resonant sound. Students watched a short video of how a didgeridoo is made and how it’s played.

学生们首先要了解澳大利亚在世界上的位置和澳大利亚国旗的样子。在星期二的选修课上，学生们学习了什么是迪吉里杜管。迪吉里杜管是一种澳大利亚土著人的管乐器，形状为一根长的木制管子，传统上由一根中空的树枝制成，吹起来会产生一种低沉而响亮的声音。学生们观看了一段关于迪吉里杜管是如何制作和弹奏的短片。

In Thursday’s Elective Class the students learned that Australia has many unique animals that live on land and in the ocean. Some of these animals are the great white shark, kolas, wombats, large spiders, snakes, and kangaroos.

在周四的选修课上，学生们了解到澳大利亚有许多独特的生活在陆地和海洋上的动物。其中一些动物是大白鲨、考拉、袋熊、大蜘蛛、蛇和袋鼠。

After they learned about the different animals the students created an Australian aboriginal dot painting using cotton swabs, ink pads, and an animal cut out. They used the dots to create patterns of the animals on their paper.

在了解了不同的动物后，学生们用棉签、墨水垫和动物模型创作了一幅澳大利亚土著圆点画。他们用圆点在纸上创造动物的图案。
