Connection To Place 

This unit will explore places that are important to us and that strengthen our feelings of belonging. Our connection to a place might be because of our culture or our family history. We might also feel connected to a place because of the way it makes us feel, or the memories that we have of spending time there. The First Peoples of Australia have very strong connections to places and use stories, songs, dance, music, to share this connection through generations.

Essential Questions

• Which places are important to people in our community and why?
• How am I connected to places? 
• How are the First Peoples of Australia connected to different places? 
• How are places named?
