OzBoxLearning through Literacy
OzBOx is a program for years 3–6 that provides full coverage of the Australian Curriculum for Science, Humanities and Social Sciences, specifically History and Geography. The program is ideal for shared, guided and independent reading and writing.
DifferentiateD instructionOzBOx provides educators with a flexible approach to allow for differentiated instruction. The program includes four individual topic cards for each Australian Curriculum content description. The cards are written at different reading levels, allowing all students to learn the content outlined in the Australian Curriculum.
OzBOx complements the Oxford Australian Curriculum Atlases, allowing for deeper learning of topics, and providing many new topics.

LIVING IN HARSH CLIMATES
Many of Australia’s animals live in harsh environments. They
cope with these conditions in special ways. First, their bodies
have adapted to suit the harsh climate. Second, they have
developed patterns of behaviour that help them to cope.

BilbyThe bilby is a long-eared
marsupial that lives in the
Gibson, Tanami and Great Sandy
deserts. It copes with the heat
by sleeping during the day and
foraging for its food at night.
It also digs a deep burrow up to
two metres below the ground,
where there is more moisture
and where temperatures are much
cooler than on the surface.

Scan the code to find out about
historical artefacts from early Sydney.
Fact!Victoria was part of New South Wales until 1851.
Queensland was part of New South Wales until 1859.
Early British sEttlEmEnts
The arrival of European settlers in 1788
in the country they knew as New Holland
marked the beginning of the colonisation
of Australia. The first settlement was
established at Sydney Cove as a penal
colony. This was quickly followed by other
penal settlements at Rose Hill and on
Norfolk Island.
After New South Wales, the next area to
be settled was Tasmania, then known as
Van Dieman’s Land, where penal colonies
were opened in Risdon Cove (1803) and
Sullivan’s Cove (1804). Sullivan’s Cove was
later renamed Hobart Town, which means
that Hobart is Australia’s second oldest city.
Western Australia was initially established
as a free settlement in 1827. This was
done to make sure that French explorers
could not claim the land and start a French
colony. Western Australia became a penal
colony in 1849.

Early farmersmany people believe that aboriginal and torres strait islander people were nomadic. But recent evidence suggests that some groups were excellent farmers.
cool burning was used in what is known as firestick farming. cool burning allowed people to create grassed areas next to forests where animals sheltered. When the animals, such as kangaroos, came out to the grassed areas to eat, they were easier to hunt.

1. Why do you think the fire moves slowly during a cool burn?
2. Explain how Indigenous eel traps worked. 3. use http://splash.abc.net.au/media/-/m/29898/indigenous-eel-farming to watch the video about Indigenous eel farming. how did eel farming change the land? What effect do you think this had?
4. think about the landscape near where you live. how have humans changed the land? What do you think it was like 200 years ago? or 1000 years ago? 5. With a partner, find out which Aboriginal or torres strait Islander groups lived in your local area, using a resource such as an Indigenous Language Map. research how they used the land before European settlement. What impact did they have on the land? What did they do to preserve the land? Present your findings to the class in an interesting way.
in victoria’s lake condah region, scientists have uncovered what they believe are the remains of eel farms that existed before european settlement. channels were dug to connect wetlands, rivers and swamps. rocks were used to narrow parts of the waterways, and then eel traps were placed to catch eels as they passed through.
indigenous australians’ knowledge of the land was very important to how they used and changed the land.

australia’s Indigenous people have a strong
connection to the land. Traditionally they
viewed themselves as the custodians of their
country, rather than the owners. this means that
they feel responsible for caring for the land.
Cool burning
For thousands of years before european
settlement, aboriginal and torres strait
islanders lived in harmony with the land. cool
burning was one method used by indigenous
people in northern Queensland to maintain
that harmony.
cool burning involves starting a small fire not
long after the wet season ends. the fire moves
slowly, giving animals time to get out of its path.
Burning small areas in this way can prevent a
large bushfire from destroying the land. cool
burning can also help the growth of new plants
by cracking open seedpods, so they are dropped
in the ground without getting scorched. after
a cool burn, new shoots grow quickly, providing
food for native animals.
cool burning was used by indigenous australians to maintain
the land.

FACT!
The Ngaanyatjarra women still grind the seeds using a grindstone or millstone.
BUSH TUCKER
Today, the food traditionally eaten by Aboriginal people is called ‘bush tucker’ or ‘bushfood’. You can buy and eat bush tucker because some companies in Australia sell it or use it to make products such as jams, relishes and butters.
But, for thousands of years, bush tucker was the food Aboriginal people ate as they lived off the land on the Australian continent or fished in its waters. Bush tucker included witchetty grubs, seeds, fish, honey ants and kangaroo.
Bush breadIn many parts of Australia, Aboriginal women would collect and grind seeds into flour to use when making bush bread. The seeds used in the bread depended on where the women lived and the time of year.
In the Ngaanyatjarra lands in the central western deserts of Western Australia, the women still collect seeds from the different types of acacia trees in the area. They grind the seeds to make flour for bush bread.
