Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

In community circle time, Leaners sings songs, recite rhymes (air 3x I can't see you.......) and discuss what was said about "air" in the song/rhyme. Have indoor activities on the experimentation of the presence of air e.g. give learners balloons and let them blow air into it (balloon) and discuss the outcome. Take learners outside the classroom to fly a kite, tie cloths around their waist and hold the opposite ends over their heads while they run. etc.
Have learners talk about their experience after the activities.
