This powerpoint uses a range of photographs found on the internet. When I taught this lesson, I shared the images, talked about the range of animals which can be found in Australia and then laid out three long sheets of lining paper. Each child was given a thick paintbrush and a pot of paint (white, black, brown, orange, green, red and yellow). The children walked around each sheet, making long snake-like patterns, surrounded by dots. Once the sheets had dried, they were used as backing paper for a display about Aboriginal Art. I also gave the children a small canvas board. They planned their image and then painted an Australian animal - surrounded by concentric lines of differing colours.

Each year we introduce a different country/culture to the children, during a week called Panorama Week: a focus on widening global understanding. This powerpoint focuses on the country of China, and the Chinese culture.
