Where We Are In Place & Time
YEAR SIX - TERM 1B, 2021
Where We Are In Place & Time
CENTRAL IDEA
Present day cultures are influenced by cultures from the past
As an International Baccalaureate world school, authorised to teach the Primary Year’s Programme, we explore six transdisciplinary themes each year.
The year six students are commencing their second unit. They will be investigating historical events that have contributed to the development of Australia since Federation and significant moments that have changed the face of Australia.
Concepts
- Change
- Perspective
- Causation
Lines of Inquiry
- Events leading to Australia’s involvement in war since Federation
- The changing face of Australian society throughout the 20th Century
- Migration
- The contribution of individuals and groups to the development of Australian society
Action
Action in the PYP is initiated independently by the student as a result of the learning process. Action may be bringing a book or artefact related to the inquiry to school, or student initiated drawings/posters/research. We celebrate our students’ ACTION every day in our class-rooms. If you see your children taking independent action at home encourage them to share their action with their class.
