INQUIRY (HUMANITIES & SCIENCE) The Inquiry topic Year 1s engage with in Semester 1 is ‘ Dodd Detectives ’. Through the inquiry process, students represent observable features of a familiar place on a model and pictorial map. Students develop geographical skills of inquiry that include: observing features of familiar places using photographs and labelled diagrams as well as describing the features of familiar places that are important to them. Through the use of digital technology, students also recognise that places can be represented on a map or a globe. They share observations and outline the features of a familiar place and use everyday language to describe the direction and location of these. AUSLAN Students learn how to sign simple greetings including signing their emotions, numbers 1 - 20 and letters of the alphabet. Students are introduced to the Auslan signs that relate to their inquiry topic Mapping Places and My Neighbourhood. 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 & PHYSICAL EDUCATION Students focus on a range of fundamental skills including throwing, bouncing, leaping and dodging. They learn the importance of rules and fair play when participating in Physical Education. Students are given opportunities to work in groups and develop a range of skills when interacting with their peers. They discuss their emotional responses to a variety of situations and talk about strategies to assist them when faced with a challenge.
