Hi everyone, There seems to be a lot of interest in Australia at the moment (wonder why :>}) so I have put together some websites that will provide some Fast Facts for you. If you want to share them, they are also on our school website at http://www.palmdps.act.edu.au > scroll across to Australia Online > choose the In a Gumnut icon. By doing it this way, the kids can find the answers for themselves from pre-selected sites rather than just being spoon-fed as well as getting some experience in navigating a website. And if there is a category I've missed, Please let me know.
