'A Peep at Sheep' online
'A Peep at Sheep' online aims to give students a broad introduction to sheep and wool. The activities will not fully deliver all the listed outcomes - 'A Peep at Sheep' should be considered a case study or a series of enrichment activities.
The materials and activities contained in 'A Peep at Sheep' online best support the implementation of NSW Department of Education & Training's Stage 1, Growing and Changing Connected Outcome Group (COG). It can also be used to support the Products and Services COG.
Each outcome has a lead activity followed by extension activities. We suggest starting with Activity 1 then sequencing the remaining activities to suit your students. Final evaluation activities have been included.
