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!
