National SORRY DAY reconciliation HAND
The children listened to the first few minutes of Kevin Rudd’s apology and they listened to Archie Roach sing ‘They Took The Children Away’. In English we had been studying fact and opinion. The children used the symbol of a hand to write several facts they had learned about the Stolen generation and some of their opinions about what happened.
Aboriginal Culture Research Project
The children were given several websites and articles to use to research various aspects of Aboriginal Culture. They worked in groups of 3 or 4 and took notes under the headings – Food, Music, Art, Shelter, Transport and Clothing. Each child wrote their own report sharing information they had found about each sub-heading. They were encouraged to include relevant facts and pictures.
The children integrated literacy, information technology and history to complete the project.
