Year 3 Maritime Museum Excursion

On Thursday, 11 September, the Year 3’s visited the Maritime Museum as part of our unit of inquiry ‘Where we are in place and time’. They visited the museum to gain a deeper understanding about exploration and discovery. The Year 3 students learnt about the diverse ways in which navigation, exploration and trade have shaped Australia. They viewed artefacts and documents in the museum’s exhibitions to learn about navigational techniques, the significance of trade between First Nations people and Macassan traders and historic voyages. The students greatly enjoyed an immersion tour aboard the Endeavour where they learnt many facts about Captain Cook and his journey to Australia.
