| Description | This study group is about all things Australian. One of the most interesting things about Australia is the fact that it is an island. It has animals and plants not found anywhere else in the world. We will learn about these plants and animals. We will learn about their habitats and the geography of Australia (including the incredible diversity on land and in the ocean). Many native animals are very dangerous and we will dive into that as well depending on interest in these crazy creatures! We will learn about/explore the Aboriginal culture and how the arrival of non-native people changed the history of Australia. I plan on doing many art projects and cooking. We will read stories from Australia and relate them back to what we are learning. I expect the children to be able to sit still and participate in group discussions. We will have weekly homework with a report/project due at the end of the term that will be shared with the group. |
