Our tutors will teach Year 3 students following the Australian curriculum, ensuring they develop a deeper understanding of history, geography, and inquiry skills. By the end of Year 3, students describe the causes, effects, and contributions of people to change in their community. They explore the significance of events, symbols, and emblems that contribute to Australia's identity and describe how places are represented within and beyond Australia. Students understand the connections people have to places and the importance of rules and community participation. They develop questions, collect information, interpret data, and draw conclusions about change and community roles, presenting their findings through descriptions and explanations.
History:
Year 3 students explore how changes have shaped their local community, learning about the contributions of diverse individuals and groups. They study significant events, symbols, and emblems that are important to Australia's identity, including national celebrations and commemorations like Anzac Day, NAIDOC Week, and National Sorry Day.
Geography:
Students learn to represent Australia as states, territories, and First Nations Australians' Countries/Places and locate neighbouring countries on maps. They explore how First Nations Australians maintain connections to Country/Place and examine similarities and differences between places in Australia and neighbouring countries in terms of climate, natural features, and human impact.
Civics and Citizenship:
Students investigate the role of rules in their school and community, exploring who makes rules and why they are important. They learn about the responsibilities that come with following rules and discuss how people, including themselves, can actively contribute to their communities through participation in projects and events.
Skills:
Students develop inquiry skills by posing questions about their community and the world around them. They learn to collect information from various sources, such as maps and interviews, and organise it using timelines and graphs. They interpret data to identify changes over time, draw conclusions about local developments, and propose actions for addressing community challenges. Students communicate their findings using subject-specific terms and formats, such as annotated maps and oral presentations.
