YEAR 5 INTERDISCIPLINARY UNIT

This term in the interdisciplinary unit, students have been inquiring into migration from the European Settlement, through the 19th century. They participated in learning experiences based on the Eureka Stockade, exploring the consequences of this event on the migration of people to Australia. Throughout this unit, students analysed and engaged with a variety of sources, both primary and secondary, and built their skills in locating and using relevant information. They also developed their understanding of the origins and purposes of different historical texts and identified the perspectives of different individuals and groups communicated through them.
