A day in the life of an Aussie.

Article 7

You have the right to have a name and a nationality.

Primaries 3 and 3/2 were so lucky this morning to get a visit from Hannah in Primary 5.  She lived in Australia for 3 years and she recently returned back to Scotland.  Hannah found out that we have been learning about the country Australia as part of our topic work and she volunteered to come into our class to talk to us all about this wonderful country.  She showed us a powerpoint, brought in artefacts like a boomerang, clap sticks, flag, her netball trophy and her school uniform.  She told us so many interesting facts and showed us some pictures of a typical day in the life of an Aussie!

Thank you so much Hannah for sharing this with us.  We thoroughly enjoyed your presentation!

G’day Mate!

Article 30

You have the right to enjoy your own culture, practice your own religion and use your own language

Miss Crease and Miss Woods have been overwhelmed by the outstanding quality of our amazing Australian research.  We were given a homework challenge to find out more about the country.  Some of us created posters, leaflets, information books and powerpoints.  We enjoyed working with our families to create them and even our mum’s and dad’s learned new things too!

We looked at Australian wildlife, artefacts, the six states, people and landmarks.

Here are some examples below:
