INQUIRY (HUMANITIES & SCIENCE) The Term 3 Inquiry Topic is ‘ On the Move'. Students will explore ideas about ‘ why and how things move ’. In this unit, science is linked to both literacy and numeracy 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. The Term 4 Inquiry topic is called ‘ Staying Alive ’. Students investigate the needs for survival of animals including humans, and how senses help them stay alive. Through hands on activities and keeping a class scientific journal, students explore the focus questions of - What do living things need to survive? and How do senses help animals meet their needs? AUSLAN Students learn how to sign simple greetings, numbers 1 - 20, letters of the alphabet and finger spell their name. They are introduced to the Auslan signs that relate to their inquiry topic Terrific Toys and Fun on the Farm. Students are introduced to the Auslan signs for simple nouns and verbs. They participate in simple interactions using Auslan signing with their peers. Students view a range of texts and videos presented in Auslan and respond to these through drawing or signing. HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION Students explore how regular physical activity keeps them fit and healthy. They learn the importance of following rules to ensure safety to themselves and others when participating in games and activities. Students begin to develop an understanding of physical changes to their bodies as they grow and develop. They participate in movement challenges, describing how their body moves in relation to effort, space and time. Students continue to practise a range of fundamental skills using different body parts.
