Just before Easter we started our new learning journey - The Aborigines.
We started by using the internet to investigate the chronology of this civilisation and from there we created and plotted the key dates on a timeline.
Then we became detectives and used primary sources to investigate what they told us about the Aborigines. We looked at images of shields, spears, basket traps, digging sticks and many more. We had to consider what they were made of, what they were used for and how they were made.
However, the best bit was discovering what they ate!
They hunted and trapped alot of food such as emu, ducks and fish but they also dug for yams, bush potatoes and bugs (Yuck!)
We then decided to design and plant our own allotment, like the Aborigines might have, and grow our own food. Hopefully, it will grow and then we can harvest it and either offer it to parents or make our own food to eat!
Let's hope they all grow!
