Content Descriptor

the interconnections of First Nations Australians to a local Country/Place

Elaborations

  • • listening to stories connecting local First Nations Australians with the land, sea, waterways, sky and animals of their Country/Place
  • • liaising with community to identify language groups of First Nations Australians who belong to the local area and exploring the relationship between language, Country/Place and spirituality (this is intended to be a local area study with a focus on one language group; however, if information or sources are not readily available, another representative area may be studied)
  • • discussing when to use Acknowledgement of Country and Welcome to Country at ceremonies and events to respectfully recognise the Country/Place and Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land, sea, waterways, and sky

Year 2 ASHASHASY2
Year 2 Humanities and Social Sciences Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 2, students identify the significance of a local person, group, place and/or building. They identify the effects of changes in technologies on people’s lives. Students identify that places can be spatially represented in different geographical divisions. They identify how people and places are interconnected both at local and broader scales. Students develop questions, and collect, sort and record related information and data from observations and provided sources. They interpret information and data, and identify and discuss perspectives. Students use interpretations to draw conclusions and make proposals. Students use sources, and subject-specific terms to present narratives and observations about the past, people and places at different scales.
