Description
Teaching your students about the First Fleet can be fun and engaging! Designed to compliment the Year 4 Australian HASS curriculum, this informative Powerpoint is a great way to engage your students interests in the topic as well as expand their knowledge of the reasons for sending the First Fleet to Australia and what impact that had on the Indigenous Australians and the convicts themselves.
