Content descriptions
Content elaborations in sequences
This resource provides new elaborations of curriculum content for the Australian Curriculum (Version 8), to support your use of the curriculum in teaching. In the units of work, the sequences and activities have links via codes to Australian Curriculum content descriptions, and each unit has a summary table that maps those links and takes you directly to individual sequences in the unit where the elaborations are made. Use the tables below for an overview and to find elaborations for English under the three interrelated strands of Language, Literature and Literacy, and also for the supplementary learning areas of mathematics, geography and science for Early Years units of work.
- Foundation: Patterns
- Year 1: Reading the landscape
- Year 2: Investigating eggs in stories and science
