Units of Inquiry

Units of Inquiry

The proposed units of work are:

 

Term One - Personal and Social Me (History)

Students learn about their own history and that of their family, including stories from different cultures and other parts of the world. As participants in their own history, students develop their knowledge and understanding of how the past is different from the present.

Term TwoStaying Alive (Science)

Students investigate needs for survival of animals, including humans, and how our senses help us stay alive. Students' understanding of basic needs and their importance in our lives will be developed through hands-on activities.

Term Three - My Special Place (Geography)

Students will explore the features of their local environment by using their senses of sight, hearing and touch. By using the classroom and particularly the local environment, students discover and explore features of their immediate environment.

Term Four - Look and Listen (Science)

Students will investigate sources of light and sound, how they are produced and how light and sound travel. Students’ understanding of the role of light and sound in our lives and our community will be developed through hands-on activities.
