Visiting the park
Summary of task
Students undertook an excursion to a local park to observe the natural, managed and constructed features of a place. After the excursion students completed a teacher-created digital worksheet containing photographs of the features of the park they had visited. Students labelled each photograph according to category – natural, managed, constructed – and provided reasons for their choices, along with a description of how to care for the park. Students then, with teacher support, proofread and edited their final word-processed responses. Including time for the excursion, students completed the task in class over a period of one week.
Achievement standard
By the end of Year 1, students identify and describe the natural, managed and constructed features of places at a local scale and identify where features of places are located. They recognise that people describe the features of places differently. Students identify changes in features and describe how to care for places.
Students respond to questions about familiar and unfamiliar places by locating and interpreting information from sources provided. They represent the location of different places and their features on labelled maps and present findings in a range of texts and use everyday language to describe direction and location. They reflect on their learning to suggest ways that places can be cared for.
