** BRITISH COLONISATION OF AUSTRALIA **

Dear Students,

My name is Charlie Smith, and I am a primary teacher at Cundle Town NSW. I have a class of 25 year 4 students, who are currently studying the British Colonisation of Australia. I was recently talking to your teacher and found out that you are also studying the colonisation of Australia. She informed me about the variety of ICT resources that are available within your school to assist with your independent research on this topic.

Unfortunately, my students aren't able to access our ICT resouces because we don't have enough for all students. Your teacher suggested that because of your high levels of resources you would be able to help my students access more information.

My students are working in pairs to research about the colonisation of Australia, a famous explorer and how the Australian Aboriginals were affected from the colonisation. Can you help provide my students some information booklets on the colonisation of Australia?

Thank you Mrs Smith
