Sitting Bull
Primary 3-7 were given the challenge of working as part of a group to research the life of a famous Native American. Thomas and Scott decided they wanted to find out more about Sitting Bull. He was a famous Plains Indian and Chief of the Sioux Tribe who fought for the rights of the Native Americans. Thomas and Scott used the internet and information books to research the life of Sitting Bull, they created this great poster and used it when sharing their learning with the rest of the class. Well done Scott and Thomas. đŸ™‚

Native American Symbols
We have been creating stories set in the Wild West using Native American symbols to record our stories. We chose Native American names for ourselves, we were the main characters in our stories. Here is Robbie with his story. His Native American name is Rowtag Bidzil which means ‘He is strong fire’.

Mai Nadie – Wise Coyote
My Native American name is Mai Nadie which means Wise Coyote. In the beginning of my story I was happy in my Indian camp with my family then bad news broke. Cowboys had come and war broke. Me and my family had to go on a journey to go and hunt buffalo for food. We stayed 4 nights and 3 days then we hunted fish. We got lots of buffalo and fish to take back to our camp and everybody was happy. The chief called us back to our Indian camp and it was so peaceful because the cowboys had gone and there was no more fighting and killing, we all were so happy. The chief said my family had to be crowned with head dresses and everybody was happy to have their peaceful life back.

Tocho Tokoada
My Native American name is Tocho Tokoada it means mountain lion friend to everyone . My story is about me at a indian camp they were my Mam ,Dad ,Lewie Willum we went to hunt buffalo. For snack it was peaceful and the sun was raging and we had a campfire. We were happy and we were all friends. We were near the river and there was fish in that river so we got our spears and tried to catch them. Then we went on a journey and we went on a canoe to catch more fish and we saw a cactus because we were near the desert. We stayed there for a day and night in a teepee. It was good there and my dad was wise. We came across 2 Cowboys and a war broke then we saw some horse tracks and we followed them. They tooks us home. By Thomas

Dreamcatchers
We have been learning about the history and legend of the dream catcher. In some Native American cultures, dream catchers were hung where the children slept. The Native Americans believed that dreams traveled through the air. The purpose of the dream catcher was to catch the bad dreams, the Native Americans believe that good dreams could travel through the dream catcher without getting entangled but that bad dreams would get stuck. This meaning the children would only have good dreams in their sleep. We made our own dream catchers using a variety of different materials. It was quite tricky, we had to use our fine motor skills.

Posting Parcels
Nynke and Robbie did a really good job wrapping up the parcels they needed to send. It was a bit tricky trying to hold the paper in place and stick the sellotape down! When they got to the Post Office they had to put their parcel on the scales to see how much it weighed and how much it would cost to post. They had to pay some money to post their parcels.
