On 26 January we celebrate Australia Day. The following provides a list of activities and free printables that can be implemented into the curriculum for children.
The Australian Animal Information Posters enable children to recognise and name Australia's most famous animals. There is also a brief description of each animal that can be read to children to provide them with knowledge about each Australian animal. These are great for the learning environment and to use during circle time discussions.
The Australian Food Posters show pictures of foods that are found throughout Australia and are typical of Australian culture. These are great to use as a display and to share with children.
Virtual excursions enable Educators to use digital technology to immerse children in a range of learning opportunities from the comfort of the service. Children can explore and visit many destinations throughout Australia, rain hail or shine to learn about what makes Australia a unique place to live.
