Year+3+Topics

=Year 3 Topics:= Community and remembrance

The Year 3 curriculum provides a study of identity and diversity in both a local and broader context. Moving from the heritage of their local area, students explore the historical features and diversity of their community as represented in symbols and emblems of significance, and celebrations and commemorations, both locally and in other places around the world.

Blackburn, Vic Collins Dove 1987 This well-known picture book merits careful examination for detail. It portrays an area around Botany Bay in Sydney through the eyes of children living there, beginning in 1988 and moving back decade by decade until the arrival of the first fleet in 1788. It shows the multicultural and industrial changes in the area and the perspective of the original inhabitants.The native fig tree is the symbolic landmark that endures through the generations. The website related to the television series made from this book gives movie clips, photographs and much background information. [] || ||
