Today we continued to make our boomerangs. I wonder whether they will fly?

We have experimented using sticks and our fingers to produce artwork in a traditional aboriginal manner. Can you recognise the animals we have painted?

We all looked at how we use the internet on a day to day basis. We produced our own digital footprint, composed a tweet reminding each other how to stay safe and shared our opinions on cyber bullying with Y5/6.

Captain Cook was an apprentice seaman who lived here in Whitby for 9 years. It is now the Captain Cook Memorial Museum. What interesting facts did we learn about his life whilst visiting the museum?

We have been writing the story of a journey using the aboriginal symbols of the Koori people from Yorta Yorta Land. Can you read our stories? Ben is telling William his story. William is writing it down and will retell it later just like in the aboriginal culture.

We have been looking at Aboriginal images of the Dreamtime. What description could you use when looking at this drawing?

This term we will be looking at all things down under in the ‘Land of Oz’. Can you tell me any facts about Australia? Why is it a unique country? I look forward to reading about what you have discovered!

I hope everyone has had a great Christmas! Here’s looking forward to a fun and enjoyable 2013! Happy New Year!
