HSIE: The States and Capital Cities of Australia

Today we have been learning to name the States and Capital cities of Australia on a map.

We have played this game to help us remember the names and locations of each State and Capital City.

Here is another game to help us learn the States of Australia.

I printed out blank maps from this website for the class to check their knowledge.

Games: BBC Bitesize

I'd like to thank our school's ESL teacher who recently referred me to these great online games. BBC Bitesize has online educational games available to kids of all ages.

It seems my year 3s love 'Questionaut' and it will certainly be getting a run in my classroom, at the very least during wet lunchtimes. There are also English, Maths and Science specific activities (Spelling, Angles, Story Planning are just a few) available and they are certainly of an acceptable quality for use in an education setting. Enjoy!
