Morning Class 3,
Here we are at Friday again. I hope you have enjoyed your week.
Below are some learning activities for today.
English
| Learning Objective/Focus: | To be able to make notes | |
| Main input | Today you are going to be looking at Australia’s landscape and features in order to improve your geographical awareness. Australia is an island (biggest in world) which has a landmass of 7,617,930km2 compared to 241,590 km2 for the UK – making it over 31 times bigger than the UK. Australia is also a continent (this is unique!) When thinking about how the land is divided think about the UK. How is it divided into smaller regions? Counties. Why is this useful? Local governments, regional identity, etc. Australia is similarly divided into states and each is responsible for running some of its own affairs. The second focus of our lesson today is famous Australian landmarks. Can anybody name any landmarks? Do you know where there are? | |
| Activities MUST | Research the names of these states on the internet. You then need to make a list of these areas. | |
