First Nations Mindfulness Colouring

Celebrate First Nations Australians with our mindfulness colouring pages. A great activity to complement a special event such a NAIDOC Week or Reconciliation Week or for any time of the year. Two different colouring pages allow students to experiment with their own design ideas.

Colour and display around your classroom during a special event such as NAIDOC week or Reconciliation Week. 
 

Learning goals

  • We are learning to identify the ways we observe special events, e.g. birthday, Easter, Ramadan, NAIDOC Week, ANZAC Day and why these events are important.
  • We are learning to identify how stories of families and the past can be shared, e.g. photographs, books, toys, medals, jewellery, artwork, stories, museums.
  • We are learning to understand the ways in which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples maintain special connections to particular Country/Place.
  • We are learning to understand the days and weeks celebrated or commemorated in Australia (including Australia Day, Anzac Day and National Sorry Day) and the importance of symbols and emblems, e.g. flags.
  • We are learning to identify the people in our family, e.g. mother, father, grandparent, where they were born and raised and the relationships between family members.
  • We are learning to identify the ways we observe special events, e.g. birthdays, Easter, Ramadan, NAIDOC Week, ANZAC Day and why these events are important.
  • We are learning to understand the celebrations and commemorations in places around the world (for example, Lunar New Year in countries of the Asia region), including those that are observed in Australia (for example, Christmas Day, ANZAC Day, NAIDOC Week, Diwali, Easter, Hanukkah, the Moon Festival and Ramadan).
