National Sorry Day
What is this about?
Elnathan – It is about saying Sorry to the Kaurna land and saying sorry about taking their country.
Adum – It is when you say sorry to the Kaurna to the people for taking their land.
Emily – It when you be nice and sorry.
Keth – National sorry day is when you say sorry.
Alexa – National sorry day is about saying sorry to the Kaurna people because he did something not good to them. Because we were violent when we came.
Laura – We need the world to live so we can survive.
Mya – National sorry day is when you say sorry to people and you have to be kind.
Abraham – National sorry day is when we say sorry to all the Kaurna people.
After watching the powerpoint we talked about the word Sorry-
Elnathan – it is a kind word
Jordan – It is forgiving each other.
Keth – Sorry is a kind word to apologise
Jerry – It is a kind word to say to your friends.
We continued our discussion – highlighting the importance of this day and how we need to recognise and apologise for the unkind choices that were made. As in all situations we learn from these things when we reflect. We then talked about the importance of kindness and how we can be a friend to others.
