Core Skills Analysis
Health and Physical Education
During Term 3, Enid spent time with Dad three days each week, sharing activities such as playing favourite video games, visiting the park and seeing friends. These experiences gave her opportunities to enjoy movement and recreation at the park, connect socially, and take part in shared leisure. Her increased capacity to spend time with Dad was described as reflecting greater confidence and energy over the preceding months. Through these experiences, Enid practised engaging in relationships and activities that supported her wellbeing.
Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS)
Enid’s regular visits with Dad gave her experience of organising time across a weekly routine: Mondays and Wednesdays generally began at 11 am, while Saturdays began at 10:30 am. The visits sometimes continued into the evening, and she took part in activities in different community settings, including a park and a museum. By moving between home-based recreation and community places, Enid experienced how people use places for leisure, learning and social connection. Her visits also formed part of her developing relationships with family and friends.
The Arts
Enid shared favourite video games with Dad during their time together. Playing games offered her an opportunity to engage with designed digital experiences and enjoy a shared recreational activity. It also involved responding to the visual and interactive features of the games as she played. The description highlights her participation and enjoyment, rather than identifying a particular game-making or art technique.
Tips
Tips Build on Enid’s enjoyment of shared time by inviting her to help choose an outing and make a simple plan together, such as a park visit followed by a museum stop. At the park, turn exploration into a gentle noticing activity: sketch or photograph interesting shapes, plants or structures, then compare observations. After a museum visit, encourage Enid to choose one memorable exhibit and share what she found interesting in a short conversation, drawing or journal entry. Keep the activities flexible and collaborative so she can practise expressing preferences and continue enjoying time with Dad and friends.
Learning Standards
- Australian Curriculum, Version 9.0 — HASS, Year 6 (relevant learning connections): AC9HS6S01, developing questions to investigate places and experiences; AC9HS6S07, communicating descriptions and viewpoints. Enid’s visits to a park and museum provide real-world contexts for noticing and discussing places, while a follow-up conversation or memory map can support these skills.
- English, Year 6: AC9E6LY06, planning and delivering structured oral or multimodal presentations; AC9E6LY07, creating written or multimodal texts for a purpose. A short spoken account, drawing with captions or journal entry about an outing would connect to these standards.
- Health and Physical Education: Visiting the park and spending time with family and friends connect broadly with participation in recreation, relationships and wellbeing. The supplied standards list does not include Year 6 HPE codes, so no code is assigned.
- The Arts: Playing video games connects broadly with engaging with designed digital experiences. The supplied standards list does not include Arts codes, and the activity does not describe creating an artwork or game.
