Stradbroke Island Excursion






Last Thursday the Year 2 classes travelled to Stradbroke Island on the Flyer. When we got there, we all worked together as anthropologists to help Katrina and Georgina to solve puzzle clues about the island.








 Matt showed us Aboriginal artefacts used by the Quandamooka people.


















We all had a turn at throwing a boomerang.


















Walking to a shell midden at Polka Point.









          We had solved another piece of the puzzle!
 Katrina lifted the grass to show us a midden that was very very old.
Did you know that a midden is an archaeological term for a rubbish heap? A midden can contain shells, animal bones and other broken remains from 1000's of years ago.





















 Katrina took our large group photo before we got on the boat to go back to school. We loved our day exploring Straddie. We learnt so much!!!!







Did you know that Minjerribah is the Aboriginal name for North Stradbroke Island?
