The Early Explorers – History Project is centered on a twelve minute audio-visual narrative that combines drawings, narration, music and sound effects to tell the story of the exploration of the young colony of New South Wales by the explorers Oxley, Hume and Hovell, Cunningham, Sturt and Mitchell, during the terms of Governors Brisbane and Darling.
The Early Explorers – History Project is designed to fully meet the requirements of the F-10 National History Curriculum for Australian schools at Year 4 and Year 5.
The program develops students’ historical knowledge, understanding and skills in response to the key inquiry questions of the F-10 National History Curriculum for Year 4 – First Contacts…
- Why did the great journeys of exploration occur?
- What was life like for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples before the arrival of the Europeans?
- Why did the Europeans settle in Australia?
- What was the nature and consequence of contact between Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples and early traders, explorers and settlers?
and Year 5 – The Australian Colonies
- What do we know about the lives of people in Australia’s colonial past and how do we know?
- How did an Australian colony develop over time and why?
- How did colonial settlement change the environment?
- What were the significant events and who were the significant people that shaped Australian colonies?
