Units of Inquiry

The proposed units of work are:

Term One - Personal and Social Me (History)

Students learn about their own history and that of their family, including stories from different cultures and other parts of the world. As participants in their own history, students develop their knowledge and understanding of how the past is different from the present.

Term Two - Staying Alive (Science)

Students investigate needs for survival of animals, including humans, and how our senses help us stay alive. Students' understanding of basic needs and their importance in our lives will be developed through hands-on activities.

Term Three - My Special Place (Geography)

Students will explore the features of their local environment by using their senses of sight, hearing and touch. By using the classroom and particularly the local environment, students discover and explore features of their immediate environment.

Term Four - On The Move

The On the Move unit is an ideal way of linking science with literacy in the classroom. Students develop an understanding of how things move. They explore the push and pull forces they can use to move objects in ways such as sliding, bouncing and spinning. Through investigations, students observe and gather evidence about rolling objects and explore the idea of fair testing
