INQUIRY (HUMANITIES & SCIENCE) During Semester Two, students observe patterns of growth and change in living things throughout the unit ‘ Watch It Grow ’. They begin to recognise the importance of healthy foods and consolidate their understanding of what living things need to grow. Students also explore the topic of “ Push and Pull ”. Through research and experiments, students investigate push and pull forces and how we use them in everyday life. They participate in activities where push and pull forces are applied on land, in the air and in water. AUSLAN Students learn how to sign simple greetings, colours, shapes and feelings. Students are introduced to the Auslan signs that relate to their inquiry topic Watch it Grow and Push and Pull. 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 continue to practise fundamental skills in different situations. These skills include punting, throwing and striking. They incorporate elements of effort, space, time, objects, and people in performing simple movement sequences. Students create and participate in games and construct and perform imaginative and original movement sequences. They practise and analyse strategies they can use when they need help with a task, problem or situation.
