Last week we started talking about landforms and it was really interesting to hear what the children had to say about iconic landforms. Lucy and Marco debated about the location of the Grand Canyon as well as its size. Bless Marco and his love of documentaries!
This lead to some considerable discussion (and heated debate - e.g. is there anything bigger than that Grand Canyon) which has led me to make some cards of iconic, natural Australian landmarks. Little Rogue will make use of these just as three part cards (unless something strikes her fancy), while Marco and Lucy can use these as a starting point for discussion and research.
I am debating as to whether to make a research card to go with these or not or if I should let the research be completely shaped by the children. I will decide tonight when laminating these!
P.S. This is my "Oceania" album which also contains New Zealand animals at the moment.
Update: I have made my research cards available
