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. IMG_1808 IMG_1809 IMG_2128 IMG_2129

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.
