The Year 6 students have been developing their collaborative skills as they worked together to draw an accurate map of Australia using selected resources.

Not only did they label this map with states, cities, oceans, etc. but they also explored the idea of time zones and how this affects transportation and communication within our country and the world beyond.

Students were finding that as they answered the set questions, they seemed to be asking more and more questions which they will need to take some time to research. Some of these questions have included: Why is the Central Time Zone in Australia half an hour different to the Eastern one? Can we make one day last forever by moving through time zones? Who even invented time and time zones?
