This term for Integrated Studies we will be learning about
Democracy, why we have rules and laws and what the
responsibility of the different levels of government in Australia
are.
This will tie in with the 5/6 camp and their visit to Parliament
House in Canberra.
Thus far students have explored rules and laws. It was
interesting to learn about wacky laws from around the world.
Next students will move on to exploring what is a country and
what are citizens. By the end of the term we will have created
our own country and citizens complete with political parties
and participated in a vote for the new Prime Minister.
S UPPORT Recognising that we all have different
learning needs and that we need to assist
and help each other.
