Significant Structures in Perth

Today in Inquiry you will be working with a partner to find out about three significant structures in Perth, W.A.  You need to read carefully through these websites, write dot points into your T-chart (retrieval chart) and collect one good image for each.  Paste the image into a Word document to print out and stick into your retrieval chart OR use PicCollage to print your image.

As you do your finding out, try to find any information about change or continuity – can you find out what was there before, or what has been changed? (Especially Optus Stadium and Elizabeth Quay).

  1.  OPTUS STADIUM (PERTH STADIUM) – (Challenge: see if you can find a picture of the unusual pedestrian bridge!  You might also find out what stadium they used to play AFL  in Perth before this was built…)  OPTUS STADIUM CONSTRUCTION FACT SHEET
  2. THE BELL TOWER and SWAN BELLS
  3. ELIZABETH QUAY – (Challenge: see if you can find a plan or map of this area (precinct) too.  See if you can find a picture of what was there before [hint: look up Riverside Drive before 2013…gardens…]  CONSTRUCTION AND MATERIALS

Have fun finding out and you might even have visited some of them when you’ve been to Perth!  😎

PS: Tomorrow in Rotating Groups, you will be doing a reading activity on the Perth Bell Tower and the Swan Bells using the same website, so read it well today.
