We focused on places, people, food and language.  We learned about the Great Barrier Reef. The coral, anemones and the various fish and plants that live there. We learned about Ayers Rock also knows as Uluru and saw photos of how it looks red at sunset. We saw photos of the Sydney Opera House and recreated it. We spoke about the Aboriginal Australian people. We talked about how they lived, farmed and their art.  Here is a link  to a page with information about the Indigenous Australians. We cooked Australian meat pies and we made pavlova. Check out part 1 of our trip to Australia here  where we delved into the animals that are native to Australia. See this post

We are starting with Australia.  We got on our airplane, made the very long journey and stamped our passport.   Check out my  previous post  for the passport and stamps that we used. This week we delved into learning about some of the animals native to Australia. We talked about marsupials and learned that there are many different ones in Australia. We loved reading about them, seeing pictures and watching videos of them in the wild. We also loved creating them by drawing or crafts. We've been talking about them all week at the dinner table. We now feel like we want to hop on a plane to see them for ourselves. These are the main animals we focused on: Kookaburra Kangaroo Wombat Koala Dingo Platypus Here are links to the resources we used. Be sure to check out my Pinterest  board with more ideas.
