Keira and Skye put together a great journalist piece about our cricket clinic. Well done, girls. Mrs Veary 😎
Cricket Workshop
BY KEIRA & SKYE
On Friday Rm6 went to a cricket workshop at 10:00. There were three coaches from Perth who taught us how to throw, bat and catch. One of the games we had to do was, trying to throw the ball at the tee with a partner. Another one of the games was hitting the ball through the cones. In the last game we tried to throw the ball into a square for 2 points. We also had to try to hit the wickets. You got 5 points, and if you hit both of them at the same time, you got 10 points. Then we all got together and three coaches handed out prizes.
Zered wrote as a journalist about Ang’s visit to our room and he did a FANTASTIC job! 🙂 Mrs Veary
Ange came in and read a story called Wonga and Nudu. People believed that good spirits protect the aboriginals from bad spirits. She talked about ceremony, songs and dances used at celebrations and how burranong rings are used in a special ceremony.
She also read a story called Burrnong. Burranong are rings made of rammed earth and the path lets you go to the next ring. The final ring is really hard because the old elders hop on top of a circle made of roots froma yonga tree and the boys try to shake off the elders. If all the elders come off, the boys became men. Then some people got painted up and the colours were white, red, yellow, brown and black ochres.

Cate also wrote and this is what she added: Great job, Cate! Mrs Veary
First Ang read a story called “Wonga and Nudu”. The songlines were boundaries for aboriginal people. People believed that good spirits protect the aboriginals from bad spirits. She read another story called Burr-Nong. She talked about Aboriginal ceremonies.
We watched a YouTube video of a Garma Festival. It’s a five day festival. It’s held in August every year. In the video they used a didgeridoo. A totem is a symbol of an animal and plants. You get to choose your totem. We chose our totem from owl, turtle, eagle, fish, emu or echidna. Ochre is the paint Ang used to paint us all in our totems.
