This unit is based on the Year 3 Australian Curriculum HASS Inquiry Skills, Knowledge and Understandings for Civics and Citizenship. Students will learn about who makes rules, why rules are important in the school and the local community, and the consequences of rules not being followed. They will draw on familiar contexts and personal experiences when exploring who has authority to make rules in different situations (for example, parents, teachers, coaches) and consider why rules differ across these contexts. Students will explore cultural norms behind some rule making (for example, removing shoes before entering certain places).
