Examples of Activities:

  paper. (The paper can be in fancy shapes such as boomerang or

  Aboriginal flag.
- Design own patterned frames (can be made from black display
  paper) and display work in them.

  integrated throughout the curriculum. The result will be a 
  vibrant and exciting classroom display which children gain 
  pride from as well as cultural knowledge.
