VISUAL ARTS Students focus on developing various techniques through the Visual Arts elements of line, colour, shape, texture, value and space. They observe techniques used by artists from a range of social and historical contexts and plan and create their own visual art works. Students participate in the areas of drawing, collage, painting, textiles and construction. They use ideas and concepts taken from themes and visual stimuli from a range of cultures and social contexts to explore, create and express their ideas. STEM Students are introduced to STEM through the exploration of materials and their properties. They participate in experiments where they investigate, sort and compare simple concepts with their peers, such as heavy and light, floating and sinking, and is it magnetic? In Term 2, students exercise their sense of wonder as they uncover clues as to what makes animals special. Through questioning and discovery students learn about the unique features of Australian animals. DIGITAL DESIGN Students are introduced to Digital Design through play based learning stations where they investigate and explore with their peers. Curiosity and fine motor skills are developed through construction, playdough, collage, sensory play, drawing, reading and sorting. In Term 2, with guidance, students begin to repeat patterns, follow simple sequenced steps and identify conditions to develop an understanding of computational thinking.
