Inquiry Units for Term 1

Term Focus                                                                      

The focus for the Inquiry Units for Term 1 is based on Identity. Each year level follows through a program focused on the topic that they are learning.

Prep : Shaping Identity 

Students will set goals and give a short presentation about objects in their 'Identity Container'. They will learn about the identity of other students in the class as they create pictographs. Your students will learn about 'Sometimes' foods and 'Always' foods and consider how they use their bodies. The students will learn how to get help in the classroom and in the schoolyard and how to use objects safely.

Year 1 / 2 : Growing Older and Wiser         

Students will learn about staying safe and taking responsible risks, healthy food, expressing their emotions clearly, and dealing with conflict. They will consider how they have changed in their life and reflect on the things that they will be able to do in the future.

Year 3 / 4 : The Game of Life     

Students will consider ethics, customs, hobbies and sports, and people who are important in their lives as they develop cards to play in 'The Game Of Life'. They will learn which health messages in the media are safe to trust and how to say no when someone is pressuring them.

Year 5 / 6 : Ethics and Emotions 

Students will consider ethical dilemmas as they learn about the value of honesty, respect, and loyalty. They will consider the influence that the media and others have on them, and the impact that being a fan of someone or something has on our identity. Students will write a story that includes a moral lesson and share aspects of their identity during the 'Identity Expo'.
