Our Social Studies and Science units for term three were intended to create connections between curriculum while focusing on our local environment. This term is all about connecting with nature, exploring our local community and place-based learning. Here are the Big Ideas from the B.C. Curriculum for term three:
- Living things have life cycles adapted to their environment as well as features and behaviors that help them survive in their environment.
- Water is essential to all living things, and it cycles through the environment.
- We shape the local environment, and the local environment shapes who we are and how we live.
