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.
