First Nations Knowledge: Living and Learning
🐝 AGES 3+ ⌛ 1 HR 🌤 ALL YEAR
We explore Dreaming stories, local plants and animals, and get hands-on with ochre, boomerangs and traditional tools.
INCURSION OUTLINE
We start by sharing a Dreaming story and show how they help explain the creation of landscapes, beliefs, laws and moral codes.
Next, we look at what plants and animals lived in your area and discover how First Nations people might’ve used them.
Through role play and movement, we invite kids to imagine life as their favourite native animal; an emu, blue-tongue lizard, or kangaroo, and discover why they have evolved the way they have.
From here, we look at what tools were used for hunting, cooking and ceremony.
Next we’ll see how ochre is used and learn the meanings behind native symbols.
If you have an area that can incorporate a bush tucker garden, we can also add in a planting session. We supply all the materials for this incursion. For prices and availability, please send us an email.
