Guest Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hi, In my school next week we are having a countries week the country that was given to me was austrailia, we are able to go completely off curriculum for the whole week, have ideas for learning about the great barrier reef, aboriginies and their art work and cooking any other ideas would be use especially from those people who have done something similiar. ta Maariya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sand tray had shells in for a beach...... We turned the home corner into an airport and bought small cases for the children to pack clothing items in for their holiday... Great fun was had by all..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hi Maariya, I did all about Australia in the autumn term when we had international week. I have attached my planning for that week- it's not very detailed but should hopefully give you some good ideas. x Weekly_plan7_edited.doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
