Felt Board matching game Civic dispositions/ character education Outcome 2: Children are connected with and contribute to their world (Australian Government Department of Education [AGDE], 2022) When we grow up by Melanie Walsh is a story book for children to learn about a diverse range of jobs, learning that there are gender stereotypes, but it is important to know that children can grow up to be whatever they like. As educators, it is important to role model to young children every day that they can do and be whatever they like such as a dancer, a builder, a teacher or a cook. To begin the introduction of careers, the story book can be introduced to children during a group time. Showing children just the cover page, ask children what they think the story could be about. Allow 5 to 10 minutes for open-ended questions to occur between educators and the children, providing children with a visual brainstorm mind map can

Providing the children with open-ended questions such as “what would you like to be when you grow up” and “what jobs do you see family and friends do” can provide children with a deeper understanding of careers and specific stereotypes. “Teachers of young children face a huge challenge in balancing the responsibility of making sure that students acquire the knowledge, skills and values necessary to prepare them for citizenship with the desire to provide lessons that interest and involve the students in an active way” (Wallace, 2005, p. 30). After the introductions and brainstorming the educator will read the story book to the group. After reading the story, the educator will ask more questions about what jobs the saw in the story, creating another poster about jobs they can do when they grow up. During the group time, a second educator will set up a felt board learning experience with mismatch hats, bodies and shoes for children to match. On a separate table

After the final discussion the educator will show the children their dream job picture as well as an example of the felt boards for students to then create and explore on their own. Role modelling is important for educators to utilise with children as it shows children how to enjoy learning, teaches self-confidence and encourages children to actively participate (Gower Street Kindergarten, 2020). This activity can be ongoing, reading this story and other similar career stories during group times. To help differentiate the activity, other art products can be used such as paints and pastels. Having an open-ended discussion throughout group times and adding careers to the mind-maps can be a great opportunity for children. They will explore the community around them with their families and want to share with their peers and educators.

103659502 Laine Harman EDU30006: Families, Community and Citizenship Assignment 1: Portfolio Due: Monday 4 th December 2023, 5pm Geography (4-5years) “Say No to Plastic” (Heaton et al., 2022) Nature walk. Throughout this lesson, educators will explore the key concept, places and regions. Environment and society Discussing different ways on how to care for special places, e.g. nature walks, picking up rubbish (ACARA, 2022). “The features of familiar places they belong to, why some places are special and how places can be looked after” AC9HSFK03 (ACARA, 2022). Geography is a unit that is explored in many fun and exciting locations. This activity will explore the importance of introducing children to the environment they live in. Wallace (2005, p. 226) states that “young children learn about the environment by interacting with it, but many have limited opportunities for experiences in the out-of-doors”. For this activity, an educator will read a story about the importance of looking after the environment, before going on a nature walk as a class group. The educator will read Say no to plastic by Ned Heaton, Shane Heaton and Tamzin Barber. This story is about a Nan and grandson who travel to their favourite beach to discuss the importance of rubbish and why it should be removed from our environment. The main message of the story is to outline that young children can have the strongest message for people (Heaton et al., 2022). After reading the story, educators and children will go on their own nature walk. Before the walk, children can

103659502 Laine Harman EDU30006: Families, Community and Citizenship Assignment 1: Portfolio Due: Monday 4 th December 2023, 5pm brainstorm ways they can help the environment on their walk, such as safely picking up rubbish (wearing gloves). Educators can discuss the importance of reduce, reuse and recycle to guide children in understanding the importance of waste and how it can damage the environment they live in (Wallace, 2005, p. 228). Throughout the nature walk children can continually talk with their educators about what they can see and what things they the community can do to help keep the environment safe. This could be an ongoing activity in the early childhood centre where children can find ways in their room to adapt to the reduce, reuse and recycle steps. Children who learn about the environment can help them development an understanding and interest into the concerns people need to have about protecting the natural environment (Wallace, 2005, p. 230).

To assist with the understanding and development of history, it is important to use hands-on and practical activities for students to build that sense of learning. Utilising biographies for young students are beneficial as it outlines people’s history, illustrating the important aspects of individuals historical life (Wallace, 2005). For students aged 5-8, using a picture story biography is an engaging strategy to assist with the engagement and involvement through pictures. To begin this lesson, the educator/teacher will read the group ‘The Little Refugee’ by Ahn Do. From here, the teacher will use questioning as a teaching strategy, such as, “what did we find out”, “who is Ahn Do?”, “what events happened in the story?”. Through this experience, the teacher will guide students through understanding the life and times of refuges
