My special place
Summary of task
Students produced a drawing of an important place in their lives. The teacher then interviewed the students regarding the reasons why the places depicted were important. The explanations were transcribed by the teacher. The drawings and explanations formed part of a classroom display.
Achievement standard
By the end of Foundation Year, students describe the features of familiar places and recognise why some places are special to people. They recognise that places can be represented on maps and a globe and why places are important to people.
Students observe the familiar features of places and represent these features and their location on pictorial maps and models. They share and compare observations in a range of texts and use everyday language to describe direction and location. Students reflect on their learning to suggest ways they can care for a familiar place.
