What to do with reference books

. Tell stories to children about Indigeous stories.

. Ask questions, make assumptions about what happened.

. Make connections with family and Country.

. Make connections with animals and the environment.

. Based on the story, develop some extension activities using the sculpture art

 

For example:

Mom: Jonny, Do you like the rainbow serpent? 

Jonny: Yes Mummy, I love it.

Mom: Why do you like it?

Jonny: It's so cool.

Mom: Do you want to make a rainbow seepent?

Jonny: Yes, I want it.

 

Guide children to think about the natural materials can be used for, demonstrate a example to children.

Mom: Wow! we have so many colorful leaves, what do you think these leaves can be used for? (arrange them one by one on the ground)

Jonny: Oh, its scales on the snake. 

Mom: Do you want to make a snake shape?

Jonny: Yes!
