This unit is based on the Year 2 Australian Curriculum HASS Inquiry Skills, Knowledge and Understandings for Geography. The unit gives students a step-by-step understanding of their place in the world from a geographical perspective. Students will learn where their home is in relation to basic local, state/territory, national and global scales, as well as different features of places on these scales. The unit also covers the importance of acknowledging the Traditional Owners of the land.
