| Counting Australian animals - Kangaroo, emu, magpie, koala, possum, galah, wombat, platypus, kookaburra, cockatoo, using the Australian flag as our work surface |
 |
| Eucalyptus scented play-dough |
 |
| adding red pebbles and orange rice to create an Australian look, and green-blue glass stones for the water's edge |
 |
| then we added blue coloured rice and a rock to finish off our Australia landscape |
 |
| frogs on the run - through my indoor shoe tunnels |
 |
| more animals on the run |
 |
| then they returned to the landscape again |
 |
| waterplay with sharks, octopus, water-snakes and crocodiles |
Half the group had water-play while the other worked on the landscape - and after a while the groups swapped over so that they all had a chance to explore both play experiences. A good opportunity for this new group of children to practice their co-operation skills as well as learn a little more about where Skippy the kangaroo comes from before he is sent further on his adventures in 2 weeks time.
