Teachers’ Notes Geography For Australian Students: Year 2 is linked to the latest version of the Australian National Curriculum. It is part of a six book series created by the same author. There are six sections in this book altogether. The first section is entitled Labelling Our Globe. Students will identify the seven continents and study their relative locations and populations. Students will locate the equator, hemispheres, the tropics and the North Pole and the South Pole on a globe.

The second section is entitled Names Of Places. Students will learn that places get their names in different ways. Some places are named after fauna and flora, while other places are named after famous events and people. Students will understand that indigenous Australians had names for most places before European colonialists arrived in Australia. Dreaming stories which explain how places got their names are a focus. The third section is entitled The Size Of Places. Students will think about the relative sizes of places and spaces. They will understand the comparative sizes of regional, national and global spaces. The fourth section is entitled Indigenous Australians. Students will learn about the creation beliefs of the traditional owners of the land and how these are communicated through Dreaming stories.

to other countries through events, trade, origin, family and friends, what we buy and through global responsibilities. Students will be introduced to the concept of foreign aid, explore how much Australia gives to other countries in aid, why we do this and how it helps.

The final section of this resource is Places. Students will make a link between distance and how often they go to a place. Students will compare travel in the past to travel today, and realise that technology has enabled us to travel the same distances in a shorter time frame. They will also consider the impact of different forms of transportation and better road systems. Students will examine telecommunications and consider how the invention and wide use of telecommunications has affected the need to travel.

Teac he r

Indigenous Australians believe that in the beginning, before creation, the land was bare and dark. Then, one day, spirits created the world by moving over the land and creating rocks, plants and animals. These spirits then turned into natural features and this is why they believe natural features are special and should be looked after. To harm the land is to harm their ancestors. Read the Dreaming story below about how the world was created.

Baiame The Creator (Adapted by Lindsay Marsh)

When the world was young and dark and flat, a Creator Spirit named Baiame came down to Earth. When he looked around, he saw nothing. He decided then and there to make Earth a beautiful place to live.

He took a step back, and thought about what these special plants in their special places would need. Water! He gave the mountains waterfalls; he gave the sandy deserts waterholes and the coastlines he gave oceans and gentle seas. When he had finished all of this, he added a soothing breeze to caress the plants he had made.

Torres Strait Islanders are indigenous people of the Torres Strait Islands. It is believed that they made their way to Australia from the Indonesian Archipelago, possibly between 40,000 to 70,000 years ago.

The Torres Strait Islands are part of the state of cape york Queensland but are located queensland just north of the mainland. ©group Rea yEdP ub l i c at i othe ns They are a small ofd 274 islands and only some of islands are inhabited. •f orr evi ew pur posesonl y•

It is estimated that today nearly 7,000 Torres Strait Islanders live on the islands, and approximately 42,000 Torres Strait Islanders live in mainland Queensland. The Torres Strait Islanders, much like Australian Aborigines also tell stories which explain creation. Read the Tagai creation story below.

. te o with c One day, a man named Tagai set out on a journey in a canoe . che e r 12 other men. The 12 men greedily ate all thet food and drink that o r s s r u e was for the voyage. Tagai was very p angry with them. To punish them, he strung the 12 men together in two groups of six and threw them into the sea. Their image set in a pattern of stars and can be seen in the constellations Pleiades and Orion today. 30
