Welcome and Introduction

Hi all

This is just a brief welcome post to let you know a little about the purpose of this blog!

Throughout foundation (prep) this term, we will be delving into three key topics of Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS). Future posts will go into further detail about these units of learning. These  units of learning will be developed based on the Australian Curriculum and the Early Years Learning Framework outcomes where appropriate. The blog posts will share what, why and how children are learning, and also share ways that parents and carers can support this learning at home.

We are looking forward to sharing the learning we do in this exciting area as the term goes on.

Kind regards
Hayley Koehler

This was tremendously helpful, and I want to thank you all for taking the time to ...
