They're champion diggers. Wombats are built for digging. Their barrel-shaped bodies and wide, strong feet with long claws enable them to excavate extensive systems of tunnels and chambers. Students dig and discover the depths of their resiliency, and create pathways when investigating big ideas and reflecting on their learning.
Wombats have slow metabolisms. It takes a wombat up to 14 days to digest a meal. This slow metabolism helps them survive in their hot and dry habitat. Students who take the time to think deeply and critically will create more meaningful understandings, demonstrate growth as an individual and learner, and experience greater satisfaction in all that they pursue.
They're not as helpless as they look. Wombats are adorable and roly-poly but they defend their burrows and can become aggressive to intruders (they charge and bowl people over! -watch this video). So too, students look kind and sometimes confused, but you are resilient, and have critical and provocative insights that reflect incredible thought and achievement.
They're interesting. Wombats may have cube-shaped poop, but students bring curiosity and unique ideas to discussions and activities.
Wombats can run 40km/hr over short distances. Students are often keen to move quickly through classroom activities and tasks, but more meaningful learning will take place by slowing down and taking a deeper look!
