About this website

This website was created by Alicia Rankine, for an assignment as part of a HSIE Education course in a Primary Education degree at an Australian university. Obviously, as a pre-service teacher, I'm still learning, so I apologise for any mistakes I have made, and propose these activities as suggestions only. 

I have made all attempt to give credit where it is due, but apologise for any oversight.
