Quick ViewColonisation of Australia & British Empire
The British Empire
This lesson focuses on the upheaval of the lives of the indigenous peoples of Australia with the coming of the Europeans and the First Fleet to Australia.
The lesson starts by looking at their customs and traditions and how these were quickly attacked through the attitudes and settlements of the colonists. A ‘Horrible Histories’ version of events is also scrutinised and questioned on its accuracy of Australian indigenous history .
I have included some comprehension questions and source scholarship using an extract from the brilliant ‘Empireland’ by Sathnam Sanghera which explains the atrocities committed in Tasmania and the impact of the British colonisation in Australia.
Paintings from Governor Davey of Van Diemen’s Land can also analysed so the students are able to prioritise the most significant changes the colonists made to Australia and the legacy of the British Empire.
The lesson comes with retrieval practice activities, suggested teaching and learning strategies, differentiated materials and is linked to the latest historical interpretations, video clips and debate.
The lesson is enquiry based with a key question posed at the start of the lesson and revisited at the end to show the progress of learning.
The lesson is fully adaptable in PowerPoint format and can be changed to suit.

Quick ViewThe British Empire in Australia – KS3 History Lesson
This thought-provoking KS3 lesson explores the impact of the British Empire on Australia. Students will examine how colonisation began with Captain Cook’s arrival in 1770 and how the First Fleet in 1788 marked the start of massive changes—especially for Aboriginal Australians. Through pupils will investigate British settlement, the exploitation of land and people, and the long-lasting effects of empire.

This resource is part of Exploring Australia, a Geography unit designed for students in upper KS1 and lower KS2 (Y2-Y4). All resources are compatible with both Microsoft Office and Google Workspace.
First the presentation investigates how Australia’s position closer to the Equator impacts its climate. Next, students are introduced to Australia’s three climate zones (tropical, arid and temperate) and find out how this effects weather in different parts of the country.
The activity challenges students to identify the climate zones of different Australian towns and cities:
Easier - Students identify the climate zones of 12 towns/cities.
Harder - Students identify the state and climate zones of 12 towns/cities.
Extension - Students investigate which climate zone has the most towns/cities and what this indicates about Australia’s population.

Quick ViewAustralia's Constitution: System of Government
Describe the Australian system of government.
Explain how the Australian Constitution functions.
Lesson Objective: to what extent does Australia reflect the best of Britain and America?
The resources are designed for delivering Levels 9 and 10 of the Victorian History Curriculum 2.0 based on the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model (VTLM 2.0). It formed the foundation of my work supporting the Department for Education of Victoria and the History Teachers’ Association of Victoria to implement the latest curriculum across the state.
Each lesson is fully inclusive, culturally sensitive and differentiated to challenge all attainment levels and are also suitable for teaching the Australian Curriculum 9.0 in all states across the country.
The resources I created whilst teaching in the UK helped my cohort of students achieve and sustain results that far exceed the national average. My examination classes consistently attained the highest possible grades in any subject and/or class year-on-year in a school of over 1300 students.
I have worked with the examination boards for over 12 years, and I have utilised feedback from students, fellow professionals, experienced colleagues and used my own professional judgement to ensure that each resource will help you to teach quality history lessons so that each student achieves their personal best.
I am proud to be recognised as a ‘Gold’ TES Author, a status awarded to top-rated contributors. My 5-star resources, recommended by TES, have been trusted by educators around the world and have been downloaded nearly a million times to help students achieve success.

Australia Topic
I am doing Australia Topic for Year 1/2 mixed and could not find any resources suitable for this age group. I have created my own which can be carried out during one lesson or over a sequence of lessons. I have used Barnaby Bear’s trip to Australia as a starter. With the Australian animal resource I challenged my middle ability group to create a poster and present it to the class in the plenary.
** Australia map **
Hello,
My aim to help teachers reduce their workload and encourage students to love learning geography. I used to spend hours looking for blank editable maps. So, I thought I would make a bank for free blank maps. I have 50 free blanks maps available in my shop.
If you have the time to show your appreciation and click 5 stars it is very helpful for me to see what resources people need.
Good luck
:)
