RFF K-3 (Release from Face-to-Face teaching)
Kindergarten (K Yellow and K Green)
In RFF lessons this term Kindergarten students will be introduced to the Key Learning Area of History by studying the unit - Personal and Family Histories. This unit provides students with the opportunity to learn about their own history and that of their family; this may include stories from a range of cultures and other parts of the world. As participants in their own history, students build on their knowledge and understanding of how the past is different from the present.
In separate lessons, as part of the Key Learning Area of PDHPE (Personal Development, Health and Physical Education) students develop knowledge, understanding and skills to empower them to make healthy and safe choices and take action to promote the health and wellbeing of themselves and their communities. Students engage in discussion to promote awareness and identify strategies to keep them healthy, safe, mentally healthy and active. Using the Wellbeing journal provides students with a personal space to express their feelings and opinion. They use the journal as a tool to help learn techniques and strategies to cope with life’s challenges.
Students will also be exposed to AUSLAN (Australian Sign Language) with the Learning goal: Children learn there are a range of ways to interact with others. AUSLAN is a language where people make signs with their hands to represent words.
Stage 1 - Years 1 and 2 (2B) – In RFF lessons this term Stage 1 students will continue to develop their skills in the Key Learning Area of History by studying the unit Present and Past Family Life. This unit explores families past and present within the context of the students’ own world. The structure of families, their similarities and differences, will be explored. Historical events, changes over time and people that are important within families will be examined. Historical sources and an understanding that historical perspectives can include different viewpoints and interpretations, will be addressed.
In separate lessons, as part of the Key Learning Area of PDHPE (Personal Development, Health and Physical Education) students will use the Wellbeing journal and will also be exposed to AUSLAN (Australian Sign Language).
Stage 2 – Year 3 In RFF lessons this term both Year 3 classes will have a focus on reading comprehension, Wellbeing journal and exposure to AUSLAN (Australian Sign Language). 3CV will also have lessons to promote increased vocabulary through Word of the Day activities and handwriting (literacy)and Thinking Mathematically and Multiplicative Thinking (numeracy)activities.
I look forward to meeting and getting to know the students and support them in their 2023 learning journey.
