History in Years 3 and 4

This term, students in Years 3 and 4 have been exploring the lives of First Nations Peoples before 1788 and learning about the impact of British colonisation on Indigenous communities. As part of their inquiry, students tracked the journey of the First Fleet and examined what life was like for convicts during transportation. They also investigated the industrialisation of England and the reasons behind British settlement in Australia. This unit has helped students develop a deeper understanding of Australia’s early history and the importance of learning from multiple perspectives.
