Key Ideas

Key ideas relevant to Our Patch/Catchment Care


   Life Systems
  • Students pose questions and seek explanations about the internal and external features of living things in order to better understand the supports of life, in particular environments.
  • Students construct and explain their ideas about the diversity of living things and how they reproduce and grow. They identify and communicate the importance of maintaining diversity of living things in order to sustain life on earth.


   Place Space and    Environment
  • Students examine natural and social environments in local and global communities, analysing patterns, systems and relationships.
  • Students use a range of resources and technologies to gather and present information. They develop mapping and graphing skills to represent observable features in the environment.
  • Students consider sustainability and care of resources and places as they explore how people's attitudes and values affect their interactions with natural features and cycles.


   Time Continuity
   and Change
  • Children explore their family, community, and 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.
