Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

In a community circle time, teachers lead learners recite the rhyme (twinkle, twinkle little star......) Have the pictures of the keywords in the rhyme on cards and assist learners to talk about them
Through questions, lead learners to talk about the source of light displayed on a conversational poster. E.g. what gives us light during the day to see the faces of our friends? When do we see the stars? What else do we see up the sky at night? Have learners share their experiences with the natural lights
Have learners draw any of the natural sources of light they like and talk about their art work
