• Explain that all organisms, including humans cause changes in their environments, and these changes can be beneficial or detrimental

Creating in Dance

We can explore our personal interests, beliefs and values through arts.

• Explore various sources of musical and natural rhythms such as beat, breath, emotional and environmental rhythms

Creating in Music

We make connections between our artwork and that of others to extend our thinking.

• Improve upon a basic pattern to reinforce the importance of the individual within the group

Creating in Visual Arts

We explore a range of possibilities and perspectives to communicate in broader ways through our creative work.

• Become increasingly independent in the realization of the creative process
• Utilize a broad range of ways to make meaning
• Develop an awareness of their personal preferences

Identity

Reflecting on the strategies we use to manage change and face challenges helps us to develop new strategies to cope with adversity.

• Appreciate that language is not always used literally; understand and use the figurative language of their own culture

Measurement

Relationships exist between standard units that measure the same attributes.

Constructing meaning

• Understand the use of standard units to measure perimeter, area and volume

Transferring meaning into symbols

• Estimate and measure using standard units of measurement: volume (cube and rectangular solids)

Applying with understanding

• Use standard units of measurement to solve problems in real-life situations involving volume

Reading

Identifying the main ideas in the text helps us to understand what is important.

• Identify relevant, reliable and useful information and decide on appropriate ways to use it
• Access information from a variety of texts both in print and online, for example, newspapers, magazines, journals, comic, graphic books, e-books, blogs, wikis

Shape and Space

Geometric shapes and vocabulary are useful for representing and describing objects and events in real-world situations.

Constructing meaning

• Understand an angle as a measure of rotation
• Understand that directions for location can be represented by coordinates on a grid

Transferring meaning into symbols

• Analyse angles by comparing and describing rotations: whole turn; half turn; quarter turn; north, south, east and west on a compass
• Locate features on a grid using coordinates

Applying with understanding

• Apply knowledge of transformations to problem-solving situations

Viewing and Presenting

Interpreting visual texts involves making an informed judgment about the intention of the message.

• Describe personal reactions to visual messages; reflect on why others may perceive the images differently
• Interpret visual cues in order to analyse and make inferences about the intention of the message
• Recognize and name familiar visual texts and explain why they are or are not effective, for example, advertising, logos, labels, signs, billboards
