Map of Australia with State Flags
The Map of Australia with State Flags was created to support the Year 3 - 6 Geography Curriculum content.
Learning goals
- We are learning to create story maps or models to represent the location of places and features.
- We are learning to understand the landmarks in Australia and the representation of Australia as states, territories and capital cities and as Countries/Places of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
- We are learning to identify the places we live in and belong to, e.g. neighbourhood, suburb, town and describe why these places are important.
