Rusty Loses His Loop

Ecocreative (www.ecocreative.com.au) has developed a new book and educational booklet called 'Rusty Loses His Loop'. The central theme of 'Rusty Loses His Loop' concerns the use of water and the impact this has on the natural environment of the Coorong and River Murray.

This booklet is linked to the South Australian Curriculum Standards and Accountability Framework (SACSA) and is primarily intended to assist in the teaching of Society and Environment (Reception-Year 2 Band) and Understanding our World (Age 3-5 Band), with a focus on the topic of water conservation.

Please click here to download the free Educational Booklet (PDF 1.1MB). It is full of activities to help children (and grown-ups) improve things for Rusty and his friends.
