Key Ideas

Key ideas relevant to Our Patch/Catchment Care


   Life Systems
  • Children investigate the features and behaviours of plants and animals through direct and virtual experience. They explain, and share with others, their understanding of the connections between living things, and between themselves and natural environments.
  • Children reflect on the way people age in order to examine stages of growth and anticipate a range of preferred personal futures. They also explore the life cycles of other living things.


   Place Space and    Environment
  • Children develop and show their understandings of the significance of places and resources. They examine different ways in which places and resources are used to satisfy needs and wants.
  • Children develop skills to represent real and virtual place and space as they discuss interactions between people and their environments.
  • Children develop an understanding of the concepts of sustainability, conservation and care of resources and places, and take action consistent with these. They assess the ways in which values affect behaviour.


   Time Continuity
   and Change
  • Children explore their family, community, local environments and society, in order to understand the common threads in human experiences which shape individual and collective identities.


   Exploring,
   Analysing and
   Modelling Data
  • Children generate data about the world around them. They develop strategies, including using technology, to collect, organise and represent data, and use it to describe situations and to make decisions and personal plans.
