Humanties & Science

This term our Inquiry unit is called COMMUNITY: Where I Stand in Time and Place. The classrooms will each have specific investigation areas that link into the Humanities and Science concepts we will be teaching based on this unit of learning. These include cafes and restaurants, a school, post office, travel agent, miniature community play, push/pull science area, senses and Indigenous perspectives. Each classroom will also have other areas set up that specifically target Literacy and Numeracy skills or other special interests amongst the students.

The children will explore content that answers the following questions.

• What connections do I have with places?
• How do I get to a place or move from place to place?
• What makes things move?
• Where in the world do I live and who lived here before me?
• What is Australia like as a place to live?

We are lucky enough to already have an excursion booked that will allow the children to have hands on experiences that relate to this unit of learning. At the end of the unit the children will make their own super city in a small group with some help from their grade five buddies!
