Wattle Gum Curriculum Year 2 Geography – Seven Little Australians & Counting

Our Geography focus in Year 2 will be ‘travelling overseas.’

We will be looking at:

Geographical Topics,
Antarctica,
South America,
Europe,
Asia
the Middle East.

These will be ‘whirlwind trips’ to these continents.

Encourage your child to interpret information,
discuss perspectives,
to draw conclusions
and to communicate.

Our Geography curriculum, resource recommendations and implementation instructions are in the printable pdf.
