Kids: Brolga Storytelling





Kyle and Naomi’s dreaming is the brolga.

The brolga got long legs, and long neck. They got pink head, big wings,  straight beak and big body.

The brolga lives in the bush. And eats ants. They sneak and catch the ants by bobbing their head. There is a big mob, lots of brolga, too many to count. The brolga fight for food. One brolga finds food, and others come and snatch for it. They fight with their beaks. When the food is gone they fly away. 

When little one is hatched, the mummy one goes looks for foods. Them red ones, them honey ants. They taste good.

- Tyrone, Valerie W, Kayleena

Today we ran shared writing sessions.  The Activity Leaders scribed stories the kids had about local animals. We are looking forward to expanding and adding illustrations to these stories next week.
