Sit in Circle
T instructs Ss to form a circle (Ss may hold hand whilst standing to
make circle). Then Ss sit down and listen to T for next instruction.
T says I have asked you to sit in a circle for a special reason today.
Traditionally Aboriginal people used circles to show respect and learn
as Elders passed on Dreaming stories and important lessons.
T ask Ss Put your hand up, if they can tell them when they may sit in
a circle and why?
Ss put up their hands and T selects Ss to share answers. Ss may
respond with campfire to tell stories; at a table to eat; or to play a
game with their friends.
T may add that sitting in a circle they can see everyones face and
that is showing respect to each other.
Land
T may say to Ss
Land means different things to non-Indigenous and Aboriginal people.
Aboriginal people have a spiritual, physical, social and cultural
connection to Land. The land and water is important to Aboriginal
culture. Land is our Mother. We are connected to the land through the
Dreaming.

stories and how everything in their
lives is tied together.

Script for Children
Please make sure your eyes are closed softly, as if you were getting ready to fall asleep. But please do not fall asleep. Keep your eyes closed,
but do not go to sleep. Stay awake and listen to my voice.
Make sure not to move. Feel your body remaining still and calm.
Feel your body becoming light, so light it begins to float up off the ground.
Begin to soar into the sky where it is warm and beautiful. The sky is blue and full of white, puffy clouds. Birds are singing, and the sunshine is
warm and golden.
Now imagine your favorite place. Take a moment to imagine that place. Imagine what it looks like. Imagine what it smells like. Are there any
other people there or are you by yourself? Continue soaring through the beautiful, blue sky to your favorite place. Fly overhead and see this
place from the sky. Look down upon it. Enjoy seeing it from so high above.
Now fly past your favorite place and see a rainbow in the distance. Begin to soar through the sky toward the rainbow. The rainbow is beautiful,
full of so many colors, so bright and playful. Fly straight into the rainbow and grab your favorite colors in your hand.
Continue to soar through the sky, finding a colorful kite flying nearby. Chase the kite and follow it as it travels on its own path through the sky.
Allow the kite to continue on its way, as you continue on your way.
Find a large, leafy tree and begin to descend from the sky to land safely and softly on the tree branches. The tree is strong and supports you.
Enjoy swinging from the trees branches and climbing down its trunk.
The grass at the base of the tree is green and soft. It is a restful place. The tree offers shade, and the grass offers comfort.
Lie down on the grass and relax under the shade of the tree.
Feel completely relaxed and still. Listen to the birds singing overhead. Feel the warm breeze on your cheeks. Allow time for students to listen
to their surroundings.
Now begin to slowly move your fingers and toes, making small movements in small places. Begin making larger movements, even stretching.
When you are ready, open your eyes.
Appendix 4.1
How Nowra Got Its Name: Black Cockatoo
A long time ago there were lots of white cockatoos in this place. Crowds of cockatoos would fly around together
shrieking and squawking.
Near the river there was a small mountain. One day it began to shake, and belched out huge clouds of black smoke.
A big flock of white cockatoos, curious about this strange event, flew through the ash and smoke.
When they came through the other side they felt very strange. As they looked back at one another they realised they
had changed colour, from snowy white to glossy black.
They were so surprised to see that they had changed colour they started squawking Na Wa, Na Wa.
The word Nowra means black cockatoo.
