World Explorers
Students will investigate the location of places and features on world maps and globes and describe the direction and distance in relation to Australia.
Students will work collaboratively as a team and use basic block coding to control Finch robots to explore floor mats of the world, marking their journey as they go.
They will use production tools and equipment to construct their very own wooden clock with a map of the world engraved on the face.
This incursion is fantastic for including the ‘Capabilities’ curriculum; Critical & Creative Thinking, Ethical Capability, Intercultural Capability and Personal & Social Capability.
