Recount of our trip to Thindi

Saara’s class, Omer, Mikhaila and her friend and the DaNgimalmin mob went to Thindi on Tuesday. Thindi is a beach that belongs to Melpi mob. It takes about 30 minutes to drive there from Wadeye.

First we took some photos for our science project about climate change.

Then we had cuppa. We had muesli bars, eggs and oranges. After cuppa we took some more climate change photos.

Next we went fishing. We caught a crab and we cooked it on a fire and ate it. It tasted like fish.

After that we started driving back to school but we stopped because we saw turtle tracks in the sand. We looked for turtle eggs but there was nothing.

Finally we got back to school and  had free time.

Crafternoon

We customised our uniform shorts today. The uniforms were a big hit last year when we first got them but lately there haven't been many kids wearing them.

I think we did a pretty good job making them look a bit more colourful and exciting - just like the students themselves!

The class next door have been working on this beautiful map of Wadeye for a couple of days now. It looks amazing. The school is on there as well as all the teachers' houses and the boarding school.

Well done!

Playlists

Often, when we have finished our work, play some music in the class while the students have free time or FT as we call it. 

We learned how to make playlists on Youtube so we don't have to argue over who gets to play their music. This way everyone's song will get played.

So far, we have two playlists:

1) OLSH Wadeye Happy Music

2) OLSH Wadeye Indigenous Music

In my opinion, we should put Manowar on the playlist.

Firstly,  I like Manowar because that’s always my best song.

Secondly,

because that is my favourite music.

Thirdly, everyone have a dance.

I think we should put that song Selena Gomez on the playlist. Firstly her songs make me happy. Secondly I like her dance moves. Thirdly, I like her music.   In conclusion she would be good on the playlist.
