My Rainbow Serpent Story

by Melanie



There was a time, a dreaming time when there was a rainbow serpent. One day the rainbow serpent came down to earth and put some of his blue skin on parts of the earth. The blue skin was the sky, the rivers and the water on earth. Then he put some of his green skin on some parts and it formed into forests, bushes and trees. Then he hissed and the mountains were created. Then more mountains, rivers, lakes and forests began being formed. Slowly, slithering over the land the rainbow serpent created the creatures which inhabit the land.

I am the rainbow serpent creating the earth.

THE RAINBOW SERPENT
by Thomas


A long time ago in a time, a dreaming time, a giant snake full with colours no human had ever seen created the place which we call home! First it slithered around in circles and wherever it slithered in circles a crystal clear lake appeared. Then it slithered in a long line and wherever it did a long, rushing river appeared. After he did that he flew up and down and wherever he did he created a tall, beautiful mountain. Soon the Rainbow serpent needed to rest so he fell asleep............
Only a little while after he had fallen asleep he woke up because he heard something. He raced up to see what it was. He saw creatures which we call humans. It got angry so it smashed his tail on the ground and where he did forests or woods were created. Then he flew up into the sky and created the clouds. Straight after he created the plants and animals and creatures. Now after every storm the rainbow serpent flies over the land.

I am the rainbow serpent.

There is a time, an Aboriginal dreaming time. Slowly, slithering over the land the rainbow serpent creates the peaceful world. Mountains, rivers, lakes and forests begin being formed by the rainbow serpent.
The creatures inhabit the good peaceful land to make their peaceful homes. The rainbow serpent is me creating the wonderful, beautiful world with
all the creatures enjoying it.

My Rainbow Serpent Story
by Josh

There was a time, a dreaming time but it happened a long time ago. Slowly, slithering over the land the rainbow serpent created the landforms and all the things we see about us today. Snowy mountains, short rivers, very deep lakes and huge rain forests began being formed. And all of the tiny creatures that now inhabit the land, creatures both large and small animals began to appear.

I am the clever rainbow serpent who created the trees, grasslands, waterlands, lakes, air, and water and all the creatures like dolphins, whales, octopuses and sea snakes.

Please take very special care of my creations.

THE RAINBOW SERPENT
by Alastair


There was a time, a dreaming time when everything was created. Slowly, slithering over the land the rainbow serpent created the trees and ocean, land, peace, animals, people, berries, meat and shelter. The animals build their homes on the land. Mountains, rivers, lakes and forests began being formed.

I was the rainbow serpent sliding around the land making the desert into grass with rivers flowing through it. Making koalas, platypus, kangaroo, emus, bilbies and more like trees for the koalas and shelter for other animals. I bit the land to separate it, and as I died my body sank into the sea and made the sea animals.

My Rainbow Dreaming Story
by Nicholas H

There is a time, an Aboriginal dreaming time. The rainbow serpent slowly, slithering over the dark land creates water that we use to drink and the forests, bushes and plants to create oxygen. He also creates snowy mountains, blue rivers, clean lakes and big forests begin to be formed also. The creatures begin inhabiting the land and take only what they need. They are good and kind creatures. The people he creates are to be nice and are to live in peace and harmony and only take what they need.  

As he creates he says:
"I am the rainbow serpent creating a new land for all creatures and
people so they can look after my land."

My Rainbow Serpent Dreaming
by Danielle

There is a peaceful time, and that time is called an Aboriginal dreamtime. In this dreaming slowly, slithering over the land the rainbow serpent creates mountains, lakes, forests, and nice plain and clear blue rivers. Mountains, rivers, lakes and forests begin being formed into parklands, rainforests, pure freshwater lakes and pretty blue rivers. The rainbow serpent made beautiful humans, animals, insects, trees, plants and much more.

I am Danielle, the rainbow serpent creating pretty and nice humans that are not greedy. The rainbow serpent says that she will create more for the world so she created bright green parklands, pretty red roses, colourful rainforests, plain lakes, green rivers, bright insects, spiders, flies and many more animals.

Please save my precious gifts to you.
