Sorry Day

In Music this week, Grade 5 reflected on Sorry Day and how music can communicate the emotion of historical events in a personal and powerful form. Students listened to Archie Roach’s ‘Took the Children Away’ and the ‘Get Up Stand Up’ version of ‘From Little Things Big Things Grow’, which includes segments of Kevin Rudd’s Apology Speech and Paul Keating’s Redfern Speech. In response to this reflection, we tied pieces of material to the fence to make a ‘SORRY’ sign in the colours of the Aboriginal Flag.
