INQUIRY (HUMANITIES & SCIENCE) The Inquiry topic Year 1s engage with in Semester 2 is ‘ It ’ s Alive! ’ Students will focus their investigations around the topic of ‘ living and non - living ’. Students will explore what it means to be alive and the various changes that happen during the life span of living things. Through an inquiry process, students discover new information about various minibeasts and prehistoric creatures. They explore external features, life spans and habitats. Students also build on their scientific inquiry skills by sorting, classifying and actively investigating the answers to their own questions. Students communicate their findings to their peers, through group work and collaboration.
HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Students continue to develop fundamental skills in outdoor and indoor settings. Throwing and catching remains a focus and they participate in activities focussed on a range of movements including dodging and running. They discuss the body's reaction when participating in physical activity for example, body temperature and sweat. Students explore ways to make the classroom healthy, safe and active and discuss strategies that promote inclusiveness and fair play. 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.
