First Australians The aboriginals were the first on land. The aboriginals were hunting the animals. Some of the aboriginals lived near the trees for shelter, spears and instruments.

Aboriginal Culture My picture is about two men sitting at a table by the river.

The origin of water Predict: I think the aboriginals dug a big hole and some water came into the big hole from the rainbow snake. Summarise: The animals found some kangaroo grass and the blue tongue lizard hid the kangaroo grass and the other animals were looking for the kangaroo grass and the bandicoot asked the blue tongue lizard are you hiding the kangaroo grass and blue tongue lizard said no.The animals went into a meeting and said for the bandicoot to follow the blue tongue lizard but the blue tongue lizard saw the bandicoot so they had another meeting and said for the willy wag tail to do the same thing but it’s tail kept flicking so the blue tongue lizard saw so they had another meeting and the rat said he will do it but the ring tail possum said not at all but the rat just jumped ahead and followed the blue tongue lizard and the blue tongue lizard heard the rat and looked to the right and the rat jumped to the left and the rat made it to the spot where the blue tongue lizard hid the water so all the animals had water and the king fish swam side to side.

Feelings : The rat felt very happy The blue tongue lizard was sad And the other animals were so happy Questions: How did they get water from kangaroo grass? Moral: Small things makes a big different

18 th Century England Little kids and adults got hung if they stole They didn’t get fresh food. You had to beg for food because they didn’t have money to buy food. You didn’t have fancy things to put in your hair because they didn’t have money The rich people didn’t care about the poor people and took all the Land.
