Aboriginal Australians
We have been learning about Aboriginal people. Aboriginal people call Ayers Rock Uluru. They eat nectar from flowers. They make dishes themselves. They have a bright red fruit called a mangata. They eat honey ants. -A.S.
Hey from the twitter world. Miss Signal has asked us to post a comment. I really like the fact that 7 year olds are taking the step into the blogsphere.
Where I am from Port Moody, British Columbia, Canada our aboriginal population is called First Nations people. They also have different names for many of the landforms in our lives.
This is what makes our world a richer place.
I am a principal of an elementary school that also has 7 year olds. One of my gr. 2/3 classes is on ePals and I bet they would love to hook up with you guys.
Room Six - I think that we know of a blog that might help. Mr Lamshed's Class in Adelaide have students who can answer questions about Aboriginal students. We networked with them about this last year and again at the start of this year we helped them with Mihi. You can contact them through our blog or at http://web.me.com/jarrod.lamshed/Boys_Class/Welcome Mr Webb and Room 8, Melville Intermediate, Hamilton, New Zealand.
I had quite a few Aboriginal children in my class in Perth and we had a good time exploring dream time stories. Have you read the one about the snake who swallowed the sun?

Hi Room 6 £ worked with an aborigine and he had the most amazing sense of direction and understanding of landscape. He was 9 very nice man.
ReplyDeleteG'day Cyber Kids,
ReplyDeleteDid you know there is a big grub that aborigines also love to eat? I wonder if you can find a picture of the witchetty grub?
I walked on Uluru then found out afterwards it was culturally inappropriate - whoops!
