TERM 4 CURRICULUM - YEAR 1
Subject / Learning Area / Assessment Task / Awarded Grade
ENGLISH / Unit 7: Creating digital procedural texts
In this unit, students listen to, read, view and interpret traditional and digital multimodal texts, to explore the language and text structures of procedure in imaginative and informative contexts. Students create a digital presentation of a procedure from a literary context. / Assessment Tasks
Interview - Reading andcomprehension
Poster/multi-modal presentation - Multimodal procedure
Unit 8: Creating digital texts
In this unit, students listen to, read, view and interpret a series of narrative texts to create a digital innovation / Assessment Tasks
Monitoring – Digital Innovation
MATHEMATICS / Unit 7:
• Fractions and decimals - identify a half
• Number and place value - count collections beyond 100, skip count in ones, twos, fives and tens, identify missing elements, describe patterns created by skip counting, identify standard place value partitions of two-digit numbers, position and locate two-digit numbers on a number line, partition a number into more than two parts, explain how the order of join parts does not affect the total, identify compatible numbers to 10, identify related addition and subtraction facts, subtract a multiple of ten from a two-digit number, identify unknown parts in addition and subtraction, solve addition and subtraction problems
• Data representation and interpretation - ask suitable questions to collect data, gather and organise data
• Chance - classify events based on chance. / Assessment Tasks
Interview - Cool calculations
Portfolio– Favourites
Unit 8:
Through the proficiency strands - Understanding, Fluency, Problem solving and Reasoning - students have opportunities to develop understandings of:
• Patterns and algebra - investigate growing patterns, connect counting sequences to growing patterns, represent addition and subtraction number patterns
• Number and Place value - use standard and non-standard partitioning of 2-digit numbers, count in number patterns, model numbers with a range of materials, develop and refine mental strategies for addition and subtraction problems, represent part unknown
• Using units of measurement - compare and sequence familiar events in time
• Data representation and interpretation - collect, organise and represent data / Assessment Tasks
Observation - Will it? Won't it? Might it?
Portfolio - Number mathematical guided inquiry
SCIENCE / Unit 4: Light and sound
In this unit, students explore sources of light and sound. They manipulate materials to observe how light and sound are produced, and how changes can be made to light and sound effects. They examine how light and sound are useful in everyday life. They respond to and ask questions. They make predictions and share observations, comparing their observations with predictions and with each other. They sort observations and communicate their understandings in a variety of ways. / Assessment Tasks
Collection of work – Collection of Work
GEOGRAPHY / Unit 2: GEOGRAPHY – How do people use places?
In this unit, students:
• draw on studies at the personal scale, including familiar places, for example, the school, local park and local shops
• understand that weather and climate affect the visible elements or features of a place nearby or far away
• ask questions using the stems of ‘what’, ‘how’ and ‘why’ to find out about the weather
• observe the daily and seasonal weather (rainfall, temperatures, sunshine and wind) of a place nearby and far away
• collect and record geographical data and information, such as, observations and the stories of Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples, to describe the weather
and seasons of a place nearby or far away
• reflect on learning to respond to questions about how features of places can be cared for. / Assessment Tasks
Oral - Guided Research - What are places like?
TECHNOLOGY / Unit 2: My place and space
Students will develop their technology skills initiated in Semester 1 by designing and creating a Day and Night mobile. / Students design and create a day and night mobile out of recycled materials
HPE / TBA
MUSIC / Students will identify high/low sounds (interval of m3rd) as so and mi. They will be able to aurally identify same/different phrases in known repertoire.
Students will continue practising concepts from previous terms. / Assessment Tasks
