For any Australian Curriculum HASS topic from Prep to at least Year 6, we can safely say “We have a resource on that!”
So when, like here in Queensland, an election is suddenly called and teachers want to do some related activities in class, we actually already have the materials for you as these topics are covered in the Civics & Citizenship Australian Curriculum in Years 4, 5 and 6. To make selecting suitable resources a bit easier, we have assembled an Election Activity Bundle containing everything you need, available for just $9.90 for non-subscribers.
Children are interested in topical issues in society and their local community. After all, it’s adults making decisions now about issues that will affect our children. And regardless of what opinions we hold on particular topics, learning how the voting system works, with assistance from free additional resources by the AEC (Australian Electoral Commission), is useful. With our Election Activity Bundle, you have everything you need to guide the learning process.
Serendipitously, classrooms and schools running with our units actually will cover these topics in this term as well, around now in the week planning.
Since implementing this program I've really noticed how the students are improving.
