Websites of the Week
Reading Australia
The Primary units have been written by PETAA members and are aligned to the Australian curriculum. They include classroom activities and assessments.
Cool Australia
Amazing sustainability resources on the Cool Australia website. Be sure to check it out!
A blurb from the Cool Australia website:
"Cool Australia promises to make learning about our natural world exciting while making the teacher’s role easier. We bring sustainability into the heart of the curriculum by incorporating themes such as Energy, Water, Waste and Biodiversity into learning activities and units of work across the entire curriculum.
Cool Australia empowers students to construct their own vision of a positive future. Cool Australia is for all teachers especially those who thought that sustainability was not in their brief or was too big to tackle."

This is one of my favourite days of the year. Celebrated on September 15th, International Dot Day is all about connecting, collaborating, creating and celebrating creativity. Check out the website for some ways you can participate. Read the book 'The Dot', raw/paint your own dot, explore your dot in 3D form using augmented reality, created a stop motion... the list is endless.
