Each frame will then be brought to the board with one person and you will try to organise them moving people around.
Write a quick summary of what you have learnt.

About 50,000 years ago, Aboriginal people arrived and settled in Australia. From 1788 to 1868, Australia was used as a penal colony by the British government. A lot of criminals like pickpockets were transported there. A different prison: in Australia, convicts were not kept in prison. They were employed as brick makers, carpenters, servants or farmers. The chain gang: they were also given hard work like making roads. Freedom at last: convicts were often sentenced to seven years. They were sometimes freed after four years if they behaved well. Most convicts stayed in Australia and settled there. Today, it is estimated that about 22% of Australians have a convict ancestor.
