NAIDOC Week Celebrations

Last week, we celebrated NAIDOC Week, where we recognise Aboriginal and Islander culture and heritage. The students had a lot of fun making damper, designing the decoration on a boomerang, finding the animals in a bush scene and learning their aboriginal names and finding the names of the different parts of the school posted up around the school in Aboriginal and learning them and their meaning. The week culminated in an assembly with special guests James and his team from Reconciliation WA, a not for profit organisation, mentored by Carole Innes, grandparent to the Yacoub children at our school. The guests were particularly impressed with the singing of the aboriginal song, 'Wanju Wanju' and the school song. It was a lot of fun and a memorable experience for all involved.

A big thank you to Mrs P, who saved the day with the damper making…definitely making up for Miss B’s lack of cooking expertise! Here is the recipe!

Ingredients:
- 1 cup of plain flour
- 1 cup of self-raising flour
- 1 cup of water
- 1 tablespoon of salt

Method:
Once you have all the ingredients you just mix them together, form little buns and then cook them on 180 degrees for about 20 minutes.
