 How
does it work?
Have
you ever stopped to think about how something worked? Maybe when it
hasn’t worked you have pulled it apart in fascination and thought...I
wonder what happens when you cross the red wire with the blue wire?
During
this unit, children will marvel at the mysteries of simple mechanisms and
discover how energy ‘makes things work’. They will investigate the
different sources of energy and how these are used in our community. They
will follow the ‘life’ of energy to observe the changes that occur
when energy is transferred to make things work.

hat can I
learn travelling Australia?
Imagine
this. You are sitting with your family around the dinner table, when Mum
and Dad drop this exciting news - forget school for the term, the road
will be your classroom, we’re packing up all the camping gear, latching
on the camp trailer and heading off around Australia for the trip of a
lifetime. There is only one catch, your teacher has asked that you keep a
journal of what you see, do and learn along the way - how easy is that?!
During
this unit children will investigate many and varied locations, discovering
the wildlife and environmental features of our Great Southern Land as well
as the many other attractions that
make Australia such a tourist Mecca.

What
would life be without sport?
Switch
on the TV, surf the channels and you’ll probably find it. Walk down the
street, visit the park, the river, the beach and you’ll definitely find
it… And well school, it just wouldn’t be school without it? During
this unit, children will investigate the role that SPORT plays in
Australian society.
Children
will investigate the health and cultural impact of sport, the variety of
sporting and leisure options available to us, as well as tracking the
origins of particular sports and sporting traditions.
