Flag creations; explore the Aboriginal flag and the symbolisation of this, provide red, yellow and black paint to the children to paint with their hands to recreate their own version of this special flag. Red for the earth, Yellow for the sun and Black for the people
Indigenous animal making; head out to the garden, to forage for sticks and leaves. Adding these to clay or playdough, create your own indigenous animals such as the echidna or koala
Natural art making; Head out into the garden and forage for flowers, soil, clay, sand, sticks and leaves. Using the soil, clay and sand create your own paints by adding a little oil and water to them. Using the flowers, sticks, leaves and fingers create your own naturally Australian pieces of art
Spinning a yarn; spend time creating aboriginal symbolled flash cards. With these cards spin a yarn; create an inspired story about what it may have been like to live and travel through Australia as the Aboriginal people once did. Once the cards are in order you are able to then transcribe these on to a sheet to make your own artwork, or a clapping stick or boomerang.
Lets move in time; take time in the garden or on a walk to forage for some good sticks which you can turn in to clapping sticks of your own. Playing indigenous music, clap in time with your sticks whilstyou dance around in remembrance of those who were stolen
