The Humanities - History, Geography & Economics
Humanities in Foundation to Year 6 involve the study of human societies and environments, as well as people and their cultures in the past and the present. The Humanities framework develops in student’s key ideas and concepts that enables them to understand the way in which people and societies have organised their world under particular conditions and how to make meaning of it.
The Humanities encourage use of research skills and inquiry processes. Students learn to plan an investigation and ask key questions. They question and analyse a range of data and sources including artefacts, photographs, maps, stories, special events, interviews, site visits and electronic media.
A large focus at Tatura Primary School from Foundation to Year 6 involves our local community. Students take part in walks around our town, map making and joining in community groups. This extends their knowledge on our town and how it has changed over time. When studying our community, students learn about our local industries and businesses and how this impacts on our town.

Grade 3/4 were learning about how different and similar Africa and South America are to Australia. We had a guest speaker come in to speak to us about their experience of visiting to Africa.
