Our school recently enjoyed an Aboriginal Culture Day. We had some Aboriginal visitors come and teach us about traditional dancing, some of the different tribes, Aboriginal storytelling and Aboriginal Art.
First, the teachers painted our faces. Big Al, the leader of the Aboriginal group, said they set a new record, painting about 425 faces in 13 minutes! After that, each group rotated through the activities until we’d all had a go at everything. Then we came back together at the end for a dance and demonstration, as well as some yummy damper.
Then our grade had to go and empty the bins.

Ah… I wish I’d visited your amazing blog before. We have a school in China that we’re in contact with and they’re desperate to have questions answered about Aborigine culture and we said that we had Tongan, Maori, Samoan, Nuianian, and more cultures but no Aborigines and they needed to asks someone else… if you want to check their blog is linked through ours at http://teachers.saschina.org/jtoa/
What a fantastic blog you have here with a lot of wonderful work going into it.
Our blog is at tamakitoday.blogspot.com
Not sure if we can do too much before the end of the year but would love to network in the future!
