How to use this teaching resource

• Ideal way for littlies to learn the Australian National Anthem through literacy and ‘playing’ with the words and sounds.
• Just use the first verse if children a smaller…
• Another great way to use these is to hand out the cut out sections (be it the phrases, or the words) and in groups children have to work together to place the song back in order – or similarly – as a whole group start with the title – then whoever has the next section – comes forward and adds the next piece until the song is complete.
• Print the A4 size for each child to pop into their nursery rhymes, poems and songs scrapbook – children ‘play with the words, letters and sounds’
• Print (bigger onto A3 if prefer), pop onto coloured backing card, laminate and keep up on display to refer to often as a class.
• Print (larger onto A3 if you like, laminate, and cut up ready for children to reconstruct – pop into your song / poem box
• Don’t forget to really make the most of these poems / songs and put your detective hats on to search for rhyming words, circle phonic sounds, play ‘find the word’ games, look for question marks and other structures, lots of ‘playing with words’ – it’s great fun to find all the word/letter patterns in poems and nursery rhymes.
