Lucca
I am the Melbourne Storm
I am the Navy Blues
I am the backyard barbie
I am the Air Jordan shoes
I am the F1 in Victoria
I am adventurous and wild
I am the rocky outback
I am an Australian child
Raiden
I am Australian
I love playing with my pets
I love seeing my friends
I love my country
I love sport
I love a good sausage on the BBQ
We are the people of Australia
We are Australian
Coop & Jake
I like eating Macca’s
Playing footy is fun
We all pick up wrappers
Playing in the sun
We have great whites
Kangaroos are cool
Toast with vegemite
Playing in the pool
Grace
My friends, my family and pets
Snags from Bunnings are the best
After work we go for a big sleep
Kangaroos and koalas are our top 2 best
We always shorten our words to lazy to stay long
McDonalds, Maccas are the same, Aussie life is insane
Eat outside on sunny days
We are Australian
Rhiannon
I love a long car ride
Across the golden beach
And a warm hot chocolate
On a cold winter day
I love the snags from Bunnings
I love a family gathering
On a warm Christmas Day
I am proud to be an Australian child
Cameron
I like a family holiday
We’re like stars upon a mountain
Twinkling down to stay
Just a simple card game
Can raise our spirits high
Now back upon a mountain
A view so incredible
I am Australian
Liam
I am the water in the sea
Everybody knows me
I plant all the trees
I am the dogs with the fleas
I am the flames in the oil
I am the water that boils
I am the wool on the sheep
I am the sheep that goes meeeep
Monisca & Hayley
I love to have a family feast
Rustling in the Autumn leaves
Watching footy games at the MCG
Cheering for our footy teams
Having hot chops in the winter breeze
The game is tight but we fight
I check my watch the game is done
We have won
Miranda & Melody
An amazing family board game
Is what we do to pass the time
Nice meat pie for dinner and lamingtons for desert
Also a home made meal costs way more than a dime
We love our fluffy koalas and bouncing kangaroos
Emus, reptiles and our native plants
We love the wonderful sound of the didgeridoos
A great performance to listen to and is who we are
Max
I am the cold winter breeze
And the scorching summer sun
I am rustling with autumn leaves
At the beach having fun
I am the Aussie Socceroos
I am the cats on a winning streak
I watch the Roos never lose
I am about to go to sleep
Kira
I’m a salty water from the sea
A cuddle from the family is all I need
Music is something that always pleases me
I love a family dinner feed
Horseback riding or playing with my dog
I’m a cheerleader because it’s fun
I love an early morning fog
I am Australian
Mackenzie
I love a good dinner
I am a warm Sunday roast
When playing board games and bowling my dad is the winner
I am the winds from the windy coast
Beam, floor, bars and vault I love it all
Horse riding is something that I can
I love a long facetime call
I am Australian
Cohen
I love going to the city
Culture Kings is the best
Buying new shoes is
A lot better than the rest
I love surfing so much
It’s really quite wild
Big waves are amazing
I am a sporty Australian child.
Ben
I love playing with animals
I also love my friends
I enjoy all the land
Until the world decides it’s my very end
I will like my culture forever
I may have different blood
And I may have other history
But I am Australian
Mason
I am F1 Albert Park
I am the beach and I’ll stay till dark
I am the city at night
I am the pavlova bite
I am the Great Barrier Reef
I am not a thief
I am the fighter jet
And I love an Australian pet
Mrs Gray
I love a family dinner
A chat, a laugh, a hug
A card game with no winner
Is what we all love
To tour our amazing country
To go on a long run
To watch a beautiful sunset
I am Australian
