Aboriginal For A Day

Last Friday, all students at our school were invited to take part in an Indigenious cultural experience, when we had the opportunity to be an Aboriginal for a day. The family of four consisting of Big Al, Leonie, Pancakes and Azza enthralled us all day with storytelling, art and dance that is unique to the Indigenious people.

Children learnt about traditional Aboriginal symbols and how to use them to create an artwork that tells a story. Big Al taught us about Dreamtime stories and how they are so important to Indigenious culture. He told us about how the echidna got its spikes. We learnt that these stories teach us lessons and the moral of this story was not to steal and be greedy. Pancakes and Azza taught us how to be a goanna, eagle, emu and kangaroo through dance and we were amazed at the sounds of the didgeridoo. We had a fantastic day experiencing the Indigenious culture and value the traditions and customs of Indigenious life. 

Who can Zumba?? WE CAN ZUMBA !!!!

This afternoon for buddies, Kindergarten and Year six joined together to learn some incredible Zumba moves from our talented Miss Treble. Year six helped to show us the moves and after a few practices we were on our way to Zumba stardom ! Some of us felt a little bit shy to start with but year six helped us to see how much fun joining in can be. Mrs Berg was able to capture some of our movers and groovers whilst Mr Carr and Mrs Carter attempted to Zumba as good as our students ! Have a look at our video to see if you can spot any familiar faces ! You might even learn a few moves for yourself !
