St. John's Wood Scouts

 St. John's Wood Cubs attended workshops on the 30th October and 6th November, 2012. We split them into two groups with one doing the Great Memorabilia Mixup and one doing the narration for the Ashgrove History Movie on the iPad.

After attending the second workshop they received their cub Local History Badge.

First public YEAH workshop

Our first public workshop for the Young Explorers of Ashgrove History on Sat 13th October went well.

We kicked off with Uncle Nurdon Serico talking about Turrbal people in Kallindarbin. Here's the link http://youngexplorersashgrovehistory.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/turrbal-people-in-ashgrove-area.html

This took a little longer then we were anticipating because of the children's interest in fishing and swimming holes and sedimentation.

Our other major activity was the  Great Ashgrove Memorabilia Mixup. One of the girls did a great job reading the accompanying disaster story:


"Oh No! Strawberry the house cow got into the vegie garden again."  "And, when Mum and the kids ran out to chase it back into the paddock, the dog ran inside and knocked all of the Ashgrove history photos and memorabilia onto the floor."  "They're in a terrible mess. Better work out which photos go with objects before Mum gets back."

"Can you help me please?"

"Here's the photos. Can you work out which history memorabilia objects go with which photo?"


and the guessing began.

Selecting artefacts

 Once we successfully matched photos and objects and talked about them. The young explorers got to draw one of the objects.

 The Great Memorabilia Mixup activity was so successful, we kept it in all of our workshops. Children have been fascinated with some of the objects such as the string of newspaper toilet paper squares, the butter churn, the pre-decimal currency coins, tools in general and the buggy wheel.


 

Turrbal people in Ashgrove area

We started our first public workshop for children in the Ashgrove Library, with a talk by Uncle Nurdon Serico about Turrbal people in the Ashgrove area.

He passed on a lot of information about aboriginal pathways, Waterworks Road was built on one, the Turrbal name for Ashgrove (Killindarbin), local camping grounds, fishing spots, food. He also told us stories about what Ashgrove was like when he was growing up and how deep the swimming holes were.

One of the children asked why the waterholes weren't still deep. So we acted out the filling up of the waterholes with rolling rock and sand and gravel.

Excerpt from Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashgrove,_Queensland
Ashgrove's native name is 'Kallindarbin'^[3] and was originally inhabited by the indigenous 'Turrbal' or 'Duke of York clan'.^[4] The main thoroughfare, Waterworks Road, was built on a Turrbal pathway that led to Mount Coot-tha, a place of the 'Honey-Bee Dreaming' and to the Enoggera Reservoir. The first sales of freehold land commenced in 1856, and ceased in 1875 when all available land was sold. Soon after sale of land stopped, the first school (the Ashgrove State School) and post office was established.
