Book Week Visit by Author, Boori Monty Pryor

To celebrate Book Week at Prairiewood High School last week, Mrs Marlow organized for prize winning Aboriginal author, Boori Monty Pryor to visit. He used a song from his book "Shake A Leg" about children looking for honey and being chased by the bees. He taught the students the words in his Indigenous language and the actions. 
Boori showed the students a video of professional dancers performing the song and then students used this to plan & draw their own stories, based on the song. The Indigenous students, their invited friends and the Support Unit students painted their stories on to canvas to be displayed around the school.
Boori also played the didgeridoo & clap sticks, performing for the students and to thank the parents from the Vietnamese Community Kitchen, who catered for the event with their usual tasty feast.
Daniel Tiglao, from the Support unit presented Boori with a thank you card that he and his mother made and thanked Boori for a great day of celebrating Aboriginal culture.
We captured some of the highlights in photos in an album in our Gallery.
