Year 3 - Australia

Year 3 have been researching about the land of Australia.

 

We read a fictional newspaper report about a newly discovered set of bones found in the outback and used our knowledge from our Dinosaur research to create a new animal that could have lived in Australia. We wrote notes which we turned into a non-chronological report and then created a poster to advertise the exhibit.

 

We have watched Steve Irwin capturing crocodiles and discussed why conservation of crocodiles is important. We used the iPads to record hot-seating and interviewed each other acting as crocodile hunters. We used a senses chart to generate strong descriptions which we then used in writing a crocodile hunter's diary.
