Achievement StandardBy the end of Year 4, students recognise strategies for managing change. They examine influences that strengthen identities. They investigate how emotional responses vary and understand how to interact positively with others in different situations. Students interpret health messages and discuss the influences on healthy and safe choices. They understand the benefits of being fit and physically active. They describe the connections they have to their community and identify resources available locally to support their health, safety and physical activity.
Students apply strategies for working cooperatively and apply rules fairly. They use decision-making and problem solving skills to select and demonstrate strategies that help them stay safe, healthy and active. They refine fundamental movement skills and movement concepts and strategies in different physical activities and to solve movement challenges. They create and perform movement sequences using fundamental movement skills and the elements of movement. |
Teaching Sequence
(This unit links to both Civics and Citizenship and Digital Technologies)
Students consider rules at school or home that are concerned with safety. They also consider how to make a decision if there is not a specific "rule" in place. What strategies do they have to make their own decisions?
They consider physical safety in the classroom and playground, including health practices such as covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze and handwashing. They also consider online safety and discuss what to do if they feel uncomfortable (links to online privacy and bullying).
