We took two weeks to study the continent of Australia. Our first week we
focused more on the geography of Australia {Great Barrier Reef, desert,
oceans surrounding Australia} as well as the currency, the Australian flag,
and learned some Australian slang words {grins}.
During our second week we learned about kangaroos and koalas and
completed some minit books {usually to make a lapbook} about both
animals. We also had fun trying to draw some different animals and even
tried to draw our own map of Australia.

New Zealand was a two-week stop we took in our geography travels after
learning about Australia. New Zealand has two main islands and is in the
South Pacific Ocean. We spent time learning about the many meanings of
the word ‘kiwi’, the culture of the Maori people, how the flag was created;
read/learned about sheep, talked about Sir Edmund Hillary and even
learned a little about the sport of rugby.
We found quite a few YouTube videos to watch along with our studies and
the blog post below also has a TON of great links to help you along in your
studies.
