Bush Buddies - Kora Koala’s Gum Tree Surprise unit of work

Every classroom deserves resources that not only engage students, but also nurture their hearts and minds. The Bush Buddies unit of work, paired with the beautiful storybook, does exactly that.

This unit is thoughtfully designed to align with curriculum outcomes while bringing joy, curiosity, and kindness into your teaching. With Australian animal characters children instantly connect to, the lessons spark imagination and create meaningful discussions about empathy, inclusion, and friendship. Students see themselves reflected in the characters’ struggles and triumphs, making the learning deeply personal and memorable.

Beyond literacy, the unit is structured with hands-on activities, differentiated tasks, and clear scaffolds to support all learners—whether they need extra guidance or extension. Everything is ready for you to pick up and teach, saving you precious planning time while ensuring your lessons are purposeful and engaging.

Most importantly, the Bush Buddies unit helps create a classroom culture where kindness and understanding are celebrated. It’s not just another program—it’s a resource that fosters connection, sparks joy, and leaves a lasting impact on your students.

Bring the Bush Buddies into your classroom and watch your students’ love for reading, learning, and each other grow. 🌿💛
