This Term, both Year 2 classes participated in an engaging Traditional Aboriginal Lifestyle Incursion, presented by Greg Nannup from Indigenous WA. The incursion complemented the students’ Humanities and Social Sciences learning, deepening their understanding of local Aboriginal history and culture. Students explored a range of traditional artefacts, including possum skins, kangaroo skin bags, and a cloak made from kangaroo skin called a Buka. They also examined fire-lighting sticks, carrying dishes, boomerangs, and various bush seeds and plant samples. A highlight was watching a bush string making demonstration. It was a rich, hands-on experience that brought their classroom learning to life.
