Deadly Day Out

On Tuesday 20^th June, our school celebrated NAIDOC Day with the theme – For Our Elders. They participated in a variety of activities throughout the day. The school joined together in the morning for Welcome to Country and the year 6 students performed The Mosquito Dance which was choreographed by Patrick Thaiday.

Throughout the day, students rotated around activities including taste testing kangaroo and beef sausages, learning about the history of hunting, face painting, joining in a yarning circle, playing indigenous games, storytelling and singing the traditional song Taba Naba. The prep – year 2’s created chalk snakes on the ground and decorated the snakes with patterns. The year 3 – 5 students created their own boomerang shaped dot paintings each.

 The year 4 and 5 students were lucky to have Megan and Rachel from Bunnings visit the school and donate native plants and native seeds to create a new native garden behind our school Yarning Circle. The year 6 students finished the day by decorating the rocks around the garden with chalk patterns.
