Australian Aboriginal Tribes

Go to the webpage http://www.infomutt.com/l/li/list_of_australian_aboriginal_tribes.html and select the name of one Australian Aboriginal Tribe. Using Google or your prefered search engine, find out as much as you can about that tribe. For example, where that tribe traditionally lived, what the tribe ate, how the tribe captured food, cultural and art practices and any important sites in the region. Provide a overview of your tribe in this section of the blog. You should work independently and make sure that you select a tribe that is not being covered by other members of the class.

Boomerang Returning

Not all Boomerangs look the same, act the same or have the same purpose. Some Boomerangs are designed to return, and some are not. Using key words such as 'Boomerang Returning' and other work sheets completed in class, explain why some boomerangs return and others do not. Also, find as many different purposes for boomerangs as you can.

Dreamtime Stories

As a class we listened to some traditional dreamtime stories. Inspired by these stories of creation, we wrote our own.
