Year 5 Excursion

Last term Year 5 visited Carrs Park Bush Flat to learn about the culture of First Nations People. They were led by Gumaraa Rangers through a variety of activities including spear and boomerang throwing (long sticks- not actual spears)  as well as a bush walk where students learned about bush tucker and bush medicine. They were involved in a traditional Smoking Ceremony and Indigenous dances. This excursion was an introduction to their Interdisciplinary Unit ‘Australia: Our Past, Our Present and Our Future.’ Students learned many new skills and facts about the way of living of the First Nations People and thoroughly enjoyed their time at Carrs Park.
