13.01.2022 Its Orientation time at LLCPS!



02.01.2022 What a truly special session we had on Tuesday. We participated in an Indigenous Cultural experience with Nikki and Uncle Norm. To begin with Green Group, Red Group and Purple Group came together for a smoking ceremony. Uncle Norm explained that smoking ceremonies were sometimes held to welcome visitors. Smoking ceremonies are an ancient custom among Aboriginal Australians in which native plants are burnt to produce smoke and acknowledge the ancestors and pay respect to the l...and, waters and sea of country. The smoke is believed to have healing and cleansing properties. It was such a privilege to be part of the smoking ceremony today and the children were all so interested and very respectful. After the smoking ceremony Green Group went into Red Groups room and Uncle Norm shared and taught us so much about his culture. Uncle Norm showed the children the aboriginal flag the children were able to tell Uncle Norm what each colour on the flag represents. Uncle Norm told us how Aboriginal people lived on this land before there were any shops or buildings. So they had to be hunters, collectors and makers. Everything they needed they had to make themselves. Uncle Norm shared with us some animal skins. We saw a kangaroo skin and a possum skin. He explained to us that these skins could be used for, clothes, bags and even as a blanket for a baby. Uncle Norm showed us how rocks and stones were used as tools. We also looked at some boomerangs and different hunting tools. We saw a coolamon, a wooden bowl used for collecting food. Babies could also sleep in a coolamon on top of a possum skin. Uncle Norm showed us how to make ochre paint from stones. We also got to listen to the didgeridoo. Uncle norm could make it sound like a kangaroo jumping, a frog and a kookaburra. He even played some hip hop on the didgeridoo for us. Uncle Norm told us how he made our name plaque above our kinder door. We are the Kawirr room. Kawirr is the Wadawurrung word for emu. Pronounced car-weer. Make sure you have a look at the beautiful plaque next time you’re at kinder. Thank you Uncle Norm and Nikki for sharing your culture with us today and teaching us so many interesting facts about how Aboriginal people lived before there were shops to buy your food and clothes. We can't wait to have Uncle Norm back next week with Yellow, Blue and Orange groups!
