This pack was created due to a shortage of resources available for teaching about Uluru. Uluru features in lots of Australian Curriculum content descriptions and yet there does not seem to be many resources available, so we hope you find this pack useful. It covers the location, make-up and size of Uluru, along with activities on the history of the rock and why it is considered sacred by Australia's Indigenous Australians. This pack would best serve students in grades 3 to 6. This pack includes 8 pages of content plus a colour and a black and white cover. An A4 and a Letter sized version are included.

NAPLAN Style - NUMERACY - Year 3 - Test This is a NAPLAN Style Assessment for Year 3. NAPLAN is the National Assessment Program for Literacy and Numeracy in Australia based on the Australian National Curriculum. If you are in another country, as most of you are, you might like to give this a try with your Year 3 students so you can show them what is expected of Year 3 students in Australia. NOTE: Some of our spelling is different. eg. colour - color. LOOK at this file before you print it out. It has 13 pages of test. The next 13 pages is a duplicate with the ANSWERS. The last 13 is the test again, but in black and white (mostly). So, think before you print it. Happy NAPLAN ding ;-)
