Curriculum - Human Society and Its Environment

Units of work reflect the children’s background through their own lives, their communities and their world.

• Australian themes are used for content as the children learn about beliefs, customs, and celebrations and why people behave and think as they do, beginning with the familiar and moving to the unfamiliar.
• The children discuss past, present and future events as they learn to make sense of the world they live in.
• The units use many of the skills of other key learning areas, such Reporting, Discussion, Exposition and Recount in English and Mathematical representation such as recording data by graphing.
• They will learn to gather information in a variety of ways through technology, interviews, visual literacy, excursions, looking at artifacts, guest speakers etc. and analyze and assess facts.
