The Level C curriculum focuses on local places I live in and developing student’s exploration and curiosity of personally significant places. Students will build on their knowledge of the local space around personal significant places. Students will draw on their own experience to help them understand places around them. They are learning about their own place and building a connection to places and are developing a sense of identify and awareness. Students experience different places and their purposes. They record and reflect on significant community facilities and their experiences at these places.
Students are developing an emerging understanding of spatial concepts through structured experiences within various places and their environment. The idea of a place, its purpose, features and location (a part of the concept of space) are recorded through the use of multimodal texts, images, maps, photos and models. They assist in the caring for and maintenance of a place. They are introduced with vocabulary related to place, space, and interconnections. The emphasis in Level C is on significant places and their local area, what they do in these places.
The key questions for Level C are:
What places do I live in?
By the end of Level C, students label personally significant places and what they do in the place. Students demonstrate a few ways they can care for a familiar place by creating a simple rule for this place.
Students observe the familiar features of places and assist to represent these features and their location on group constructed pictorial maps and models. They share observations about a place using simple sentences and show the people who can be found in a place.
Students can independently locate some significant spaces within a significant local place and they begin to communicate using direction and location.
