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.

Aimed at a mixed ability KS3 class - They need to find out some information from around the room. Try an A to Z and then complete a diamond 9 to decide what famous landmark they would like to visit in Australia and why.

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. Learners will also explore trade, social structures, and Australia’s journey to independence, while questioning whether the empire brought progress or not.

This resource is a 15 page PDF document with activities to do based on the book Waves by Donna Rawlins, Heather Potter and Mark Jackson. This document contains 14 worksheets for students. The activities allow the students to reflect on the story and extend their understanding of the themes within this text. The activities included in the worksheets are things such as comprehension questions, vocabulary and grammar activities. There is also a mapping activity and reflection / making connections activities. There is one worksheet per ‘person’ in the story, with the exception of Olga and Harry who are included in one worksheet as they are from the same time period (late 1940s). We have done this because this book lends itself very well to different history topics (Indigenous studies, convicts, gold rush etc). Waves is an excellent book for a school to buy a set of as it allows teachers to ‘dip’ in and out of it, using the part/s which work well with the unit they are teaching. This means this text can be used over and over as it covers migration to Australia from 50,000 years before present to 2000s. Keeping our worksheets focused on one person’s migration story at a time allows teachers to use this resource for multiple topics. Education Australia has other resources available for purchase.

About this unit: This is a ten-lesson unit of English work based on the reading and writing of a non-chronological report. It is intended for Lower Key Stage 2. This unit follows the 2014 National Curriculum objectives which are outlined below. The English objectives covered by this unit are highlighted in yellow. The ten lessons in this unit allow children to explore, discuss and understand a non-chronological report. During the first week, children will explore a non-chronological report based on rainforests in Australia. Through guided and shared activities children will write their own version of this text ensuring they have included the correct language and organisational features. In the second week, children will carry out their own research into another rainforest in the world. Children will then apply what they have learned in the first week and plan, write and edit a non-chronological report based on the rainforest location of their choice and then they will write a non-chronological report independently. What is included? • A sheet with the National Curriculum English objectives for Y3/4 which are highlighted to help track and assess the progress of the class; to track coverage of the English curriculum and to show what objectives the unit covers. • NEW Printable child-friendly learning objectives for children’s books. • Non-chronological report planning for 10 days including possible geography cross-curricular links. • NEW Now includes a PowerPoint containing the lesson structure and learning activities for all 10 lessons of the unit which can be presented to the children. The PowerPoint design and content can be adjusted to suit the needs of a class. • A non-chronological report about rainforests in Australia which includes details of the general location of rainforests of the world in relation to the equator, Tropic of Cancer and the Tropical Capricorn; the location of Australia’s rainforests; information about what makes a rainforest unique and information about the plants and animals found in Australia’s rainforests. • A non-chronological report about rainforests in Australia that has been simplified for lower-achieving children. • A glossary for the non-chronological report about rainforests in Australia. • Boxing-up plan for the non-chronological report about rainforests in Australia (differentiated on two levels). • Success Criteria for non-chronological reports (differentiated on three levels but a writing frame is included for lower-achieving children). • Non-chronological report about rainforests in Australia writing frame for lower-achieving children. • Boxing-up plan for research into the child’s own independently researched rainforest location (differentiated on three levels). Please Note: Rainforests in Australia: Non-Chronological Report Planning for Year 5/6 is also available on TES.

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.

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 :)
