Today we read the book The Monster Who Ate Australia by Australian author, Michael Salmon.
The story is about a monster named Burra, who travels around to the capital cities of Australia. He sees the sights, eats some strange things and gets into some mischief along the way!
After reading the book, students completed a story map to show Burra’s Australian adventure.
