We will learn about the land that is Australia, produce that Australia exports and famous Australians. It is really exciting learning about where we live and the students are able to share how they interact and care for this amazing country we live in. Australia has some amazing artists and we will be creating artworks inspired by Albert Namatjira and Rosalie Gascoigne. Students will begin to explore how farms grow and produce fibres and food. We will even be able to see and touch some real wool from a sheep! It has been great hearing about the adventures we have had on holidays in Australia.
