Wild Investigators: Living Things
Wild Investigators: Living Things
What is living in our local environment? How can we classify them? What are their features? What is a scientific diagram? What is a life cycle?
We’re diving into the world of nature journaling as we examine and explore the living world around us.
Students will investigate mathematical concepts through scientific inquiry and investigation. They develop knowledge, skills and understanding of local plant and animal species while practising maths skills using physical movement, nature connection games, nature-based materials and sensory-based ideas. We use a tactile, sensory approach for building a strong understanding of number, shapes and concept.

Curriculum Links
Wild Ground education programs create strong links between outdoor place-based learning and the Australian Curriculum to ensure students are equipped with the knowledge, understanding and skills required to support environmental stewardship of their local natural areas.
Cross Curriculum Priorities
Wild Ground programs integrate strongly with the cross curriculum priorities of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures to ensure students are deepening their knowledge of Australia by engaging with the world’s oldest continuous living cultures. In using this conceptual framework we promote Identity and Living Communities and the key concepts of Country/Place, Culture and People.
