Composite Year 2/3 HASS Units- Australian Curriculum

This is a pack of 4 units (9 lessons each) that address ALL* the Year 2 and 3 HASS outcomes from the Australian Curriculum. Units for both version 8.4 and version 9 of the Australian Curriculum have been included.

✩ These units are for teacher who need to fit both Year 2 and 3 outcomes into a single 1 hour HASS unit each week.

*This unit does not fully cover the Year 3 outcome about celebrations/commemorations as this is best done during the year at the time of those events.*

✩ This pack is NOT for teachers who teach a straight Year 2 or 3 class. Due to having to condense all the outcomes these units do not go in to as much detail about each concept as you should when you have a straight year level classroom. You can find individual units here

Version 9 topics of the 4 units are:

♦ Australian People and Places: Students investigate places, people and symbols important to Australia.

♦ Community: Students explore their communities including its features, rules and history including how technology has changed.

♦ First Nations Australians: Students explore the interconnections of Australian First Nations Peoples to Country/Place.

♦ Places and Connections: Students explore how places can be represented in geographical divisions and interconnections across those scales, and compare different places.
