Cranburne Gardens indigenous area

As part of our history unit, we are looking into Indigenous Culture. To help with our research, we went to Cranbourne Gardens.We had so much fun at  Cranbourne Gardens. We did activities relating to or did indigenous culture. It was really fun my favourite activity was the activity with tools. The tools were very cool my favourite with the spear. it was really fun.

They had an indigenous animal there called the bandicoot, which we were lucky enough to see.

Another lesson we did was about food. My favourite food was lemon myrtle sadly we didn’t get to try any of the indigenous foods, but it was really good to see and smell them. It’s really good my favourite is a biscuits that have lemon myrtle and then they taste amazingly good.

 

 

The final lesson we did was about indigenous art and the rock paintings in caves we got to use some of the special clay they used. In the rock paintings it was so fun to do for our own little stories on the rock, and put our hand print on a rock. The special clay they use is called ocer That’s my best attempt at spelling and I’m not sure how to spell it.

 

In final it was really fun at Cranbourne Gardens. I really loved it ,and  have you ever been to a place like Cranbourne Gardens, or done excursion to Cranburne Gardens to learn about indigenous artefacts.

Scratch game

This is my scratch game

I hope you like it.

It was really hard to make. The coding was pretty big, but I really like it and I hope you do too. The coding is not too advanced, but it looks pretty hard when you see it.

The elders

Hi
How are you.
A few days ago we went to the nursing home. At the nursing home we talk to our elders; my favourite Was Merle… sorry everyone else. They had a lot of stories to tell us Like Merle’s father Played for the Carlton football team her father‘s name was Hector like one of my classmates.

One of the oldies there was in the Navy my uncle was in the army in the bomb squad he was a 1st° officer.

Another person I liked was Helen. Going into it I was nervous and a bit scared. Luckily my mum was there at the nursing home looking after my classmates and me. She was a big comfort and I help you nearly everyone she was the best Parent helper ever. Sadly none of my grandparents are alive though if they were I probably would’ve talk to them at the nursing home but I still had a really good time there. The elders were so happy to see us and we heard they had a Lift in spirits after we went there.
