Oct. 19, 2006 - Learn about Australia

Posted in Australia Info


G'day!

Tomorrow I am teaching a homeschool co-op class about Australia!  What fun.

The internet is full of great information on Australia.  There is more than enough to keep you busy for a long time.  I even learned a few things.  For example, did you know the aboriginal instrument, called a didgeridoo, was actually a tree limb hollowed out by termites.  I thought they made them!  Which I guess they do now for commercial purposes.

One cool thing about Australia is that it is a continent, a country and an island!!

Here are some links I found helpful in preparing for my lesson:

Australian Flag Coloring Page (also has other flags)
Unit plan for Kindergarten through 2nd grade
Unit Plan for Upper Elementary
Free Coloring pages with Australian theme
Australian Songs and Nursery Rhymes
Australia's Size Compared
Aboriginal Art and Culture

Thank you for the great links. The timing is wonderful. My girls and I are presenting Australia in a geography fair in 3 weeks, so we will especially enjoy learning from these sites. Thanks again.
In His love,
