This workbook aims to provide material that teachers can use to achieve outcomes from the Year 4 sections of both the Western Australian Curriculum Framework and the Australian Curriculum in the Society and Environment and History
learning areas. The topic and activities within the workbook also take into account the overarching and values outcomes of the Western Australian Curriculum
Framework as well the cross-curriculum priorities of the Australian Curriculum.
The activities within the workbook assume cognitive-constructivist learning principles. As such, these activities aim to provide students with relatable, hands-on tasks that encourage them to make connections between what they are learning and what they already know. The topics in the workbook allow students to explore Australian culture at a national level as well as encouraging students to investigate Australian culture within their community and their school.
Many of the tasks in the workbook promote enquiry-based learning, which sees students actively investigating topics in order to achieve greater understanding.
