Hi everyone,

 To learn about the aboriginals we went to Cranbourne Gardens. We were finding out how things were made and many more.

Steve, our guide firstly gave us a tour; we got to hear water through a trunk of a tree; we learnt how things were made. For example: the boomerang. We leant which one returned and which one doesn’t. We also got to paint ocher on ourselves. Ocher is a type of rock. If you add it with water it turns all paint. The aboriginal people painted it on themselves. I don’t know why though.

We got to see many man made structures. Like these massive slopes made of red sand. Some of the mums came. My mum come and she thought it looked like water had made them. We also learnt about what the aboriginal people ate. They ate types of roots and animals. We also leant how the aboriginal people cooked. Rubbing sticks together but in a special way. The strait stickers were better than the wonky sticks. We leant hoe they cleaned and used possum skins for many different situations.

The best part is there were bandicoots. We saw a tone of them. They were actually quite tame. They went up to someone not in our school though. There was also playgrounds.

I really enjoyed it. I recommend you go there. 5 stars!

What do you know about the Aboriginal people?

Your sincerely,

Isla.
