In this episode of Educator Yarns, Jess Staines speaks with Linda Wilson, a dedicated early childhood teacher at Sentia Early Learning in Melbourne CBD. Originally from Sweden, Linda shares how her childhood experiences exploring Swedish forests shaped her deep appreciation for nature as a teacher and guide. Now living and working on Wurundjeri Country, Linda beautifully intertwines her background in Nordic Forest pedagogy with Aboriginal perspectives in her teaching practice. Despite being based in Melbourne's urban centre, Linda has led her kindergarten children on more than 30 excursions to connect with Country, learn about local Aboriginal history, and develop meaningful relationships with the land. Her approach demonstrates how educators can follow children's natural curiosity to explore Aboriginal perspectives, even in city-based settings. Linda's journey from knowing very little about Aboriginal culture upon arriving in Australia to embedding it meaningfully in her practice offers valuable insights for educators seeking to deepen their understanding and approach to cultural connections. Key Takeaways: The Swedish approach to early childhood education emphasises consistent time in nature, with some kindergartens located entirely outdoors where children cook on open fires and engage with natural resources. Revisiting the same natural spaces repeatedly is crucial for deepening children's connection and learning, allowing them to move beyond initial excitement to more meaningful engagement. Linda's personal experience of spending days exploring Swedish forests as a child shaped her teaching philosophy and her belief that nature can provide a grounding, calming influence in our fast-paced society. Children's questions about their local environment (like "Who made the Yarra River?" and "Where does it flow?") can serve as powerful starting points for exploring Aboriginal perspectives and connections to Country. The Aboriginal 8 Ways of Learning framework, particularly the 'land links' approach, provides a valuable structure for educators wanting to connect teaching through culture rather than just about culture. Each year, Linda's program focuses on different aspects of Country based on the children's interests—from the Yarra River's history to food sources at Birrarung Marr to land caring at Port Phillip Bay. Despite challenges in maintaining ongoing relationships with local Aboriginal communities in urban settings, educators can access ethical resources like the mapping tool developed by Melbourne Council in collaboration with Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung peoples. Children in urban settings can develop meaningful connections to Country through regular excursions that help them recognise the Aboriginal history and significance of familiar places. There is a natural synergy between nature-based pedagogies (like the Swedish forest school approach) and Aboriginal perspectives on connection to land that educators can draw upon in their practice. Stories such as that of Bunjil the Eagle become powerful tools for children to understand Creation stories and develop respect for Traditional Owners, even when learning occurs primarily in urban environments. Linda Wilson's journey from the forests of Sweden to teaching on Wurundjeri Country demonstrates how educators can weave together different cultural approaches to nature-based learning. By following children's natural curiosity, revisiting significant places, and drawing on ethical resources, educators can foster meaningful connections to Country even in urban settings. As you reflect on your own practice, consider how you might incorporate regular experiences on Country that allow children to develop deeper relationships with the land and greater understanding of Aboriginal perspectives. How might you use mapping tools and local resources to enhance your knowledge and confidence in embedding Aboriginal perspectives in your program? Access the episode resources here.

Bath is a buzz with the gossip of an impending proposal, but the future bride appears unaware, instead being focused on the arrival of her past paramour. Anne's family continues to make social faux pas by ignoring the newly arrived Captain Wentworth, in a reigniting of conditions that caused Anne to break their engagement eight years prior. Mrs Smith has heard the gossip around town and cryptically comments to Anne on her perception of the impact on their renewed friendship. Italian Opera provides an opportunity for dueling suitors to attempt to gain Anne's attention and despite her best efforts, her attentions are dominated not by her heart, but by her sense of duty.

Anne's presence in Bath has little impact on her father, Sir Walter, and eldest sister Elizabeth, who have been enjoying  the faster pace of the city. Anne finds a reinvigorated Mr Elliot who has renewed his intentions to respect and fulfill his aristocratic duties, much to Sir Walter's pleasure and he appears exceedingly attentive to Anne. Sir Walter's companion, Mrs Clay, is invited to stay longer despite Anne's arrival, sparking rumours of an inappropriate attachment. Elizabeth and Sir Walter's obsession with society is exposed as they pursue, somewhat inarticulately acquaintances of higher rank, an activity supported by Mr Elliot. Anne ponders the attentions of Mr Elliot; is he using her to gain favour with her sister, Elizabeth? Or are his affections more closely directed?

We are sharing everyday stories by Everyday People. This past year, Thorne Harbour has been connecting with our community to showcase the diversity of our multicultural LGBTIQA+ and PLHIV communities, and take a look at the personal narratives of people's experience with mental health. As people who come from non English speaking backgrounds, we connected to share the impact of migration stress, identity, and their connection to culture as a protective factor when thinking about good mental health - and how they have responded to periods of mental ill health. This project, Everyday People, has centred the voices of our community first and foremost - sharing their stories in their chosen language, and made available in English also. We're going to chat to three incredible community members who share their stories of mental health with us. If you'd like to hear their stories in full, head to everyday-people.au - and if you're looking for ways to improve your own mental health or combat social isolation, check out the resource page for places you can get support that are affirming for you. Michael spoke with Sasja, Boudie and Emil about their experience sharing their stories.

Whilst her sister and brother-in-law remain in Lyme, Anne visits her friend and mentor, Lady Russell. Despite a strained start, the women are able to converse more freely, with Anne revealing her suspicious that Captain Wentworth is attached to Louisa Musgrove. A visit by the duo to the tenants of Kellynch Hall reminds Anne of what her father's hubris has lost them, and she is also informed that Captain Wentworth has been speaking of her. The return of Mary and her family to Uppercross fills the house with light and laughter, a stark contrast to before where the cloud of Louisa's injury cast a pall over the whole party. A letter from her sister Elizabeth alerts Anne to the presence of Mr Elliot, the cousin to whom she became reacquainted at Lyme, in Bath, where he has regained his place within the family. Lady Russell and Anne determine their presence will be much better served in Bath. What intrigues await them there – and how will this affect Anne?This episode covers chapters 13 and 14 of Jane Austen's Persuasion.We hope you enjoyed this episode of Ballarat National Theatre's adaptation of Jane Austen's Persuasion and will join us each week until all the episodes have been released.

Competition does wonders for reflecting on what might have been as Wentworth observes another man noticing Anne. The Elliot's cousin, and heir to Kellynch Hall, has coincidentally arrived in Lyme and is staying at the same hotel as the Uppercross party. Having previously rejected the Baronetage, and a family plan to engage him to Anne's sister Elizabeth, his estrangement from the Elliot's is still raw for Anne. However, opportunities arise for conversation and clearing of air. Girlish tomfoolery results in injury and the ever-noble Captain Wentworth reflects on his culpability in seeking Anne's counsel; yet his demeanour is staid. How different this man is from the Wentworth Anne knew all those years earlier! Could she ever have loved THIS Wentworth?This episode covers Chapter 12 of Jane Austen's Persuasion.We hope you enjoyed this episode of Ballarat National Theatre's adaptation of Jane Austen's Persuasion and will join us each week until all the episodes have been released.

Mary's inability to read the room continues as she invites herself on a walk with the Musgrove girls, Anne and Captain Wentworth. Louisa is a terrible flirt and her impropriety leads to idle and potentially damaging gossip being revealed to Captain Wentworth about Anne. An opportunity to visit the stunning seaside town of Lyme provides a much needed intermission to the somewhat claustrophobic environment of Mary and Charles' home at Uppercross. There, Anne finds she is able to be of assistance to a grieving man, which finally provides her with a sense of accomplishment.This episode covers chapters 10 and 11 of Jane Austen's Persuasion.

The tension in the air whenever Anne and Captain Wentworth are in each other's presence could be cut with a knife, not that anyone else is paying attention to Anne. All the ladies are enamoured by him and hope that he will pursue a suit for one of them. Alas other men currently pursuing the Musgrove girls are put out at this supposed new competition. Wentworth finally notices Anne, coming to her rescue from the rambunctious actions of her nephew. Why does this affect Anne so?

The dashing Captain Wentworth arrives to visit his sister, the new tenant of Kellynch Hall, resulting in he and Anne meeting for the first time since the dissolution of their engagement.

Welcome to Kellynch Hall, the ancestral manor of Sir Walter Elliot and the home of our forgotten and ignored heroine, Anne. Sir Walter, a vain and extravagant man, has found his spending has put them in a challenging financial position and our story begins with the Elliot's being forced to leave their home and rent it out to recoup costs. But it is not any ordinary tenant; it is someone connected to a name never forgotten by Anne, a love long since lost. Will this mean the chance of seeing him again?
