Bunjil and Waa are part of mythology of some Aboriginal people in Victoria. In this learning experience children turned one of Bunjil and Waa's story into a stop motion movie.

Materials/Tools

  • Bunjil and Waa puppets

  • Blue chiffon for the river

  • Rocks, stones and moss

  • Black texta

The puppets were part of a teaching aid package from the department of education and the rest of materials were collected by children as they brainstormed to set up a scene for their short movie.

Resources

  • An iPad

  • The application 'Stop Motion Studio'

  • The story card of Bunjil and Waa (click here)

 

By providing children with a smart device and this child friendly application, they can enjoy being creative. The story of Bunjil and Waa was a provocation for the children to make their first stop motion movie; however, children slightly changed the story which demonstrates their creativity.
