Although Sparkle Box and Teachers Pay Teachers are fantastic resources, both are based in other countries (United Kingdom and the United States). However, Copacabana Public School is similar to these sites in that it provides some really great resources and lesson ideas, however these activities are developed around the current Australian Curriculum (Copacabana PS 2015). Copacabana Public Schools includes lesson ideas, fun activities and entire units of work on all primary school stages, even unit and lessons on the Themes of the Curriculum, such as Global Connections
Copacabana Public School also integrate ICT into their resources and units really innovatively and have an awesome interpretation of the Syllabus. Definitely worth a look!
