What are you waiting for? Save yourself loads of time and stress with this Australian Curriculum aligned Year 4/5 Ultimate Composite Unit Bundle!

Please note, this bundle IS NOT recommended for teachers of straight year 4 or 5 classrooms.

*The Technologies and Health curriculum are done in bands F/1/2, 3/4 and 5/6 where the outcomes are to be covered over those years, not all in one year.

When Technologies/Health units in this bundle say 5/6 which means that it is covers outcomes from the Year 5/6 band. I chose units that shared overlap with the 4/5 bands but didn't feel it was necessary to create combined units when not all the outcomes are required to be covered.
