The new 'Flow of Learning Book Boxes Set of 5' is ideal for storing your Indigenous resources, learning about the environment or simply adding some beautiful Australian colour to your classroom or library.

Travelling the Flow of Learning. The artwork on the box has been created by Mitch Francis, a Gunditjmara and Bundjalung man from the Illawarra Region of NSW.

Mitch’s artwork, titled “Flow of Learning”, beautifully depicts the journey of a child through education:

“Passing through the centre of the artwork is the child’s journey along the winding path of education and learning. The connecting blue lines lying behind symbolise all the places that each child visits throughout their own educational journey. The ‘U’ shapes along the sides of the design represent all the people who have been supportive in this journey.” 

Dimensions: 17cmW x 25cmD x 28cmH (back) and 17cmH (front).

'Children are not limited by their literacy skills. Possibly my favourite aspect of this learning resource is that children do not have to be able to read, write or speak at all to be able to excel at LOGICO Primo. In my experience, this is really rare. A lot of learning resources require children to be able to read/write in order to complete the activities potentially putting off children who don't yet have these literacy skills but are capable in other ways. LOGICO Primo allows children to show their true potential at numeracy, strategic thinking tasks etc regardless if they can read, write or
even speak yet'.
